About the Screening & Conversation.

The Karrabing Film Collective is one of the world’s most prominent Indigenous media groups. On their first visit to LA, the group screens a selection of films and will then speak about their practice and forthcoming exhibitions and projects. Members of the Karrabing Film Collective that will be present include Gavin Bianamu, Rex Edmunds, Natasha Bigfoot Lewis, Cecilia Lewis, Angelina Lewis, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Aiden Sing, Kieran Sing, and Shannon Sing. 

About the Artists.

The Karrabing Film Collective is a grassroots Indigenous media group of over thirty members based in Australia's Northern Territories. They approach filmmaking as a mode of self-organization and a means of investigating contemporary social conditions of inequality. Screenings and publications allow the Karrabing to develop their own unique artistic language and allow audiences to understand new forms of collective Indigenous agency. Their films represent their lives, create bonds with their land and intervene in global images of Indigeneity. At the root of their work is a deep commitment to challenge strategies of settler colonialism in Australia and beyond. Their films and installations have been exhibited at Contour Biennale, Mechelen, Belgium; Berlinale Forum Expanded; Hallucinations, Athens at documenta 14; Sydney Biennale; vdrome.org; e-flux supercommunity at the Venice Biennale; Doc’s Kingdom, Lisbon; Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio, and The Mistake Room, Los Angeles, among others. In March 2019, their first major museum show will open at MoMA PS1, New York.
