Discover the Connection Between Film, Music, and Storytelling with Cauleen Smith

Virtual and In-Person Lecture with Artist Cauleen Smith
Wednesday, September 13, 6:30 p.m. ET

Interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker Cauleen Smith kicks off the annual Clarice Smith Distinguished Lecture Series. Smith explores African American identity through her experimental and multilayered work, particularly in films such as Sojourner, featured in SAAM’s current exhibition Musical Thinking: New Video Art and Sonic Strategies.

Smith describes her work as a reflection on “the everyday possibilities of the imagination,” drawing on poetry, Afrofuturism, science fiction, and tactics of experimental film to conjure alternative narratives and what the artist has called “a cornucopia of future histories.”
