​i'm hurting
when you're not with me

A short film & video program co-curated with Sara Zalek

@ Hume Gallery
​3242 West Armitage Avenue, ​Chicago
Tuesday April 11th 2017, 7pm


This event was part of BATTLES:SS3: Post-Butoh Festival 2017

​Longing for someone or something to be there with us is longing for solidarity, for presence, for love, for understanding, for flesh, for friendship. Battles, repair and resilience only exist in relation to and the battlegrounds are not as desolate when you are with me.

To acknowledge our need for one another, and how we might seek to repair our feelings of loss and isolation, the harm done to our body and the body politics, broken relationships, and share in the beauty that might be our shared grief. 


This event is free/encouraging donations which will be providing stipend$ to the film and videomakers
​
Beverages will be served (snacks too!), but feel free to BYO to this cozy artists-run gallery
