Based on Brazilian films that engage with dystopian imaginaries or propose inspiring alternatives for navigating today’s global collapse, this series displaces the end of the world and notions of the future to the South tropics of the world. It creates a space for collectively, creatively, and critically experiencing cinema, inviting the audience to reflect on ways of reinventing the future and on forms of disrupting singular accounts of its end.

This practice seminar provides an occasion to consider American artist Park McArthur’s practice and presence among a recent generation of artists whose conceptualist and institutionally-responsive strategies both critique and re-imagine life’s material conditions in the 21st century.
