"Ezra Wube: Five Animations"
Curated by Max Warsh
September 21 - December 9, 2023
Yeh Art Gallery, St. John’s University, New York
 
From the show's press release:

"Wube’s animations utilize painting, drawing and assemblage to tell stories that traverse places and cultures “in a continuous dialogue negotiating ‘Here’ and ‘There.’” From a poetic recollection of his daily commute in New York City to an interpretation of Ethiopian folktales and an investigation into issues of environmental sustainability in Ethiopia, Wube fluidly weaves together vivid imagery that stems from a confluence of collective storytelling, knowledge-gathering, and his own personal lived experiences."

"Tenzin Phuntsog: Heeding (Land) / Roaming (Heart) / Grasping (Language)"
Monday November 13, 8pm
REDCAT, Los Angeles, CA
 
From the show's press release:

"In Tenzin Phuntsog’s film and videos, he and his camera roam seemingly endless landscapes. The quietness of these landscapes are deafeningly loud. What are the hills saying? What guidance are they screaming to impart? What should we heed? But Phuntsog’s work also asks other questions: What happens when we abandon the act of roaming for the act of loving, the act of caring? Sitting still and deciding to extend grace to our parents? What should we heed when we listen to the achingly desperate beating of elders’ hearts? What do we do then? How do we respond? Digging deep into his personal history, Phuntsog makes films that, instead of leading with prescribed artistic or cinematic languages, lead with yearning and a journey to heeding knowledge beyond our immediate grasp."
