Sky Hopinka
Lore – 16mm loop version
Sky Hopinka’s Lore is seen as a knowledge of memory passed down and shared… as a pastiche of rumination, reproduction, and creation. He experiments with nostalgia, landscape, and memory through a lens that sees the earth as a gift giver.
“Images of friends and landscapes are cut, fragmented, and reassembled on an overhead projector as hands guide their shape and construction in this film stemming from Hollis Frampton’s “Nostalgia”. The voice tells a story about a not too distant past, a not too distant ruin, with traces of nostalgia articulated in terms of lore; knowledge and memory passed down and shared not from wistful loss, but as a pastiche of rumination, reproduction, and creation.”

arthur jafa
Arthur Jafa (b. 1960, Tupelo, Mississippi) is an artist, filmmaker and cinematographer. Across three decades, Jafa has developed a dynamic practice comprising films, artefacts and happenings that reference and question the universal and specific articulations of Black being. Underscoring the many facets of Jafa’s practice is a recurring question: how can visual media, such as objects, static and moving images, transmit the equivalent “power, beauty, and alienation” embedded within forms of Black music in U.S. culture?

To Find Our Roots Home
Each aspect of this exhibit harkens people to seriously consider what environmentalism means on an intimate level. The Earth is our home. A part of being a citizen of this planet is to honor and understand these gifts. Environmentalism is more than just taking care of our home; it is connecting with and understanding that the earth is an essential part of our being. It is making sure that this bounty is both equitable and accessible and sustainable. Using art as a form of expressing home – within the earth and intricacies of our society and culture – is imperative in understanding earth’s gifts and making sure they last for the future.
