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 weekly screening series that features the most celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. The series seeks to present films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. This series 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. Experimental Tuesdays has recently hosted the work of 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. This screening series is free and open to the public.

Tickets are not required for this FREE event.
