Closed World Film Program
Friday, January 24, 2025
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The
four-part
exercises
build
and
unbuild
a
“closed
world”
progressively
and
collaboratively,
through
community
participation.
Accordingly,
the
exercises
are
designed
as
a
generative
system
which
replicates
multiple
environments
including
the
home,
the
theater,
and
the
gallery
space.
A
‘closed-world’
or
‘closed-loop
system’
examines
the
earth
as
a
whole—as
a
complete
and
interconnected
system.
Closed
World,
co-curated
by
Innocent
Ekejiuba
and
Erika
Mei
Chua
Holum,
is
a
four-part
film
program
including
works
by
an
international
roster
of
contemporary
artists
designed
as
four
exercises
in
healing.
The
film
series
is
presented
in
conjunction
with
Makeshift
Memorials,
Small
Revolutions
–
an
exhibition
at
the
Blaffer
Art
Museum
at
the

of
Houston
that

Francisco
