The Black Film Anti-School is Lansiquot’s ongoing project, initiated at London’s LUX Moving Image in 2019, which seeks to create spaces for collective learning, including screenings, reading and discussion, and generate discourse that goes beyond conversations about representation and towards a liberatory mode of making, viewing and critiquing Black film. Registration required.

In this workshop, we will experiment with acrylic mediums to create colorful translucent landscapes that are inspired by Pesce’s use of inventive nontraditional materials.

In this two-day workshop, students will create a sculpture inspired by the inventive nontraditional art of Pesce. We will design an organic object and infuse it with its own personality.

This collaboration will begin to demonstrate the intrinsic relationship between music and dance.
