Basement Films is collaborating with The Mobile Abolition Library and Marcella Ernest to offer a hands-on filmmaking workshop focused on community-based abolitionist futures art through predeveloped 16mm film, and sound at Working Classroom. This workshop is designed for POC, Black and Indigenous individuals from New Mexico, queer-identifying and non-gender conforming relatives, and allies, creating a space for collective creativity and expression. Participants will come together to produce visual art that reflects Queer Indigenous feminism, celebrating kinship, relationality, and inclusivity. The workshop offers an opportunity to engage in visual sovereignty, resist gender and sexual discrimination, and build community through collaborative art-making.

Thursday, Mar 29, 2025 | Community Day at the University of Arizona Museum of Art
Community Day in conduction with Hank Willis Thomas exhibition LOVERULES. The exhibition highlights several important series, including Branded and Unbranded: Reflections in Black by Corporate America. In Branded, Thomas explores and re-contextualizes the history of brand advertising and sponsorship through the iconography of sport. In Unbranded, Thomas digitally removes advertising punchlines and logos, with both series thereby highlighting the consistently dehumanizing strategies of corporate media, the commodification of African-American identity, and how dominant cultural tropes shape notions of race and race relations.
