How do transformations in technical imaging recast our experience of the corporeal? This film program gathers together short, experimental works exploring scenes of physical exhilaration and disintegration, probing the intimate interventions made by technology into the body: its appetites, its vulnerabilities, and its display. We are invited to consider the civilizational logics that organize human beings for combat, entertainment, and pleasure.Co-sponsored by Film and Media Studies - Feb 56:00 PMCreative EndeavorsThe Arts | The Palace

For alliances with the beaver people features an 11 meter-long embroidered tapestry that illustrates key moments in the history of beaver-human relationships, tracing how rivers evolve through collaborations between these two species. An explicit reference to the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry that depicted 58 unique scenes of battle, Husky’s work uses this tapestry form to visualize cross-species mutuality and regeneration rather than battle. The exhibition also features a documentary film about the Vermont naturalist Patti Smith, who takes us into her world of beaver friends and teachers. For the exhibition reception on February 12, Husky will be joined by a panel of researchers, writers, and naturalists (including Patti Smith) to discuss beaver ecologies and the future of their watersheds.In collaboration with Picker Art Gallery.
