Bringing together architects, landscape architects, theorists, activists/organizers, artists, and students across a series of panels, dinners, workshops, and screenings hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Viewsheds will be presented in conjunction with the Site Unseen exhibition and the “territorial” scale studio in SARUP’s new core studio sequence, framing the importance of new, speculative aesthetics within emerging pedagogies and practices, particularly as architecture schools around North America increasingly contend with the climate crisis within their curricula.
The Milwaukee Underground Film Festival (MUFF) is a student run film festival devoted to showcasing independent, artist driven cinema. For two decades we have been programming filmmakers that defy convention in an attempt to amplify unheard voices. Our festival celebrates the potential of cinema to imbue a community with excitement, critical discussion, and open-mindedness through the presentation of new artistic forms.
This screening will serve as a prelude to Kevin Jerome Everson’s on-campus visit the following Friday and Saturday. The program will feature two medium-length films, Ten Five in the Grass and Company Line, as well as one short film, Undefeated.
Any conversation about the most important artists and experimental filmmakers working over the past quarter century would be incomplete without the name Kevin Jerome Everson.

Kevin will be present to introduce and discuss a collection of his short works, ranging primarily from 2022-2024.
