Por dentro somos color, by Elena Pardo Mexico, 2024, 16mm projected on video, 13' In Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, in the state of Oaxaca, the women's organization Poj Kaa manages a community herbarium. Plant-searching expeditions are a way to share knowledge with midwives, healers, and xëmaapyë. In Teotitlán del Valle, the Ruiz family searches for colors they find in plants and insects, which they use to dye the wool they use to weave rugs. Both practices involve traveling the land, recognizing it, naming it, and connecting with everything it contains.
“(...) Al artista hay que darle más cuerda de la necesaria. A menudo se ahorca a si mismo para sentir la experiencia, aunque esta criatura tiene un cuello duro, ¡Denle tiempo! Tal vez él sea más consciente del tiempo que cualquier tipo de individuo. Es un explorador de sus propias dualidades.(...)” Stan Brakhage. Hagan espacio para el artista.
For LaborBerlin’s first collaboration with the Youth Resistance Museum situated in the Galiläakirche, a former church in the iconic Rigaer Straße, we present a programme of films, installations and performances in dialogue with the organic materiality of film, the thin line between the human and non-human, as well as the cultural spaces that are activated by collective gestures of resistance.

Welcome to a screening with the Basel-based filmmaker and artist Hannes Schüpbach. Since the 1990’s, Schüpbach has created a dynamic work focusing on the fine-calibrated changes of the gestures, landscapes, bodies and light. In his 16mm films, we often encounter a peculiar movement between spontaneity, intimacy and a progestically fragmented work in which, as he expressed it—the “the surroundings meet the eye” — crystallizes a form that is unmistakable Schüpbachsk.
As part of the Subtropics 2025 Marathon at the Deering Estate Black Box Theater, Miami-based artist Barron Sherer premieres Sketch No. 2 Fire Station No. 9. This two-channel 16mm projection layers temporal and spatial impressions of the historic Kendall Jackson Hospital Annex with a sound composition by Archival Feedback. Produced by Sherer's Moving Image Alliance studio project and fiscally sponsored by Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places as part of Sherer's ongoing A.P.P. commission, "Sketch No. 2" is also now distributed through Canyon Cinema.
A selection of films in which the film's skin is lacerated, torn, cut, peeled off, and glued back together to create cinematic works that evoke sensations of memory, resurfacing buried memories. This program offers critical perspectives on images through the materials whose intimacy these films explore.
