Join us for an evening of short films by Parastoo Anoushahpour and stay for a Q&A after the screening.

Anoushahpour is an Iranian artist based in Toronto with a moving image practice working predominantly with video and installation. Her work explores the tension of multiple subjectivities as a strategy to address the power inherent in narrative structures. Her film The Time That Separates Us uses the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah to explore contested geographies and narratives along the Jordan River Valley, depicting the landscape through multiple media, including security camera footage, 8mm film, smartphone imagery, and vintage photography.

Experimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations, such as LGBT, Native American, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film, Video, Animation & New Genres, and presented in partnership with UWM’s Union Cinema, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas, Courtney Stephens, Simon Liu, Helena Wittman, Jessica Bardsley, Suneil Sanzgiri, Mary Helena Clark, Angelo Madsen Minax, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.
Tickets are not required for this FREE event.
