Summer-long, citywide arts collab starts this weekend: A lot of the heavy-hitters in town the Frye Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Northwest Film Forum, On the Boards, and Velocity Dance Center joined forces to present Murmurations, a series of exhibitions, performances, screenings, community conversations, artist talks, and other programs on race, place, and, of course, the problems with tropes of linear narrative and apparatuses of visual capture.
The programs that begin this weekend include a drive-in screening of five short films at On the Boards. I m particularly drawn to
No history in a room filled with people with funny names 5, a 30-minute film from Korakrit Arunanondchai and Alex Gvojic, wherein a fictional Thai painter communicates with a drone spirit named Chantri about the consequences of globalization in contemporary Thailand.
