PARTICIPANT BIOS:
Astria Suparak has curated exhibitions, screenings, performances, and live music events for art institutions and festivals across ten countries, including The Liverpool Biennial, MoMA PS1, Museo Rufino Tamayo, Eyebeam, The Kitchen, Carnegie Mellon, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, and Expo Chicago, as well as for unconventional spaces such as roller-skating rinks, ferry boats, sports bars, and rock clubs.
Ranu Mukherjee (CCA Faculty, Film Program Chair) makes hybrid forms of video, painting and installation guided by the forces of ecology and non-human agency, diaspora and migration, motherhood and transnational feminisms. She draws inspiration from the histories of collage, black feminist science fiction and Indian mythological prints (19th-20thc). Employing layers of saturated color, printed pattern on sari cloth and animated overlays of image, tempo and choreography, she amplifies physical presence and sensuality. Her recent work considers how experiences of rupture and longing can be catalysts for building new imaginative capacities.
