Sharlene Bamboat: BOTH, INSTRUMENT & SOUND

EMPAC invites Chronogram readers to join filmmaker Sharlene Bamboat and curator Katherine C.M. Adams for a viewing of the artist's feature-length film and a look into a new installation-in-progress, with moderated discussion. BOTH, INSTRUMENT & SOUND is a 40 minute, 1-channel film offering an intimate and sensorially rich perspective on shifting practices of solidarity and alliance-building. Refracted through the life of 80-year-old Tony, an activist in Toronto’s queer community, the work opens up to both political and intimate modes of relation. After the screening, Bamboat and collaborator Kaija Sirala speak about developing the in-progress multi-screen version of the work.
