SUMMARY:Din Din: Quick Slice by Lily Baldwin
DESCRIPTION:Nightly Screenings Beginning at DuskLocation: 39-31 29th St\, Long Island CityLily Baldwin’s film installation “Quick Slice” will screen every night in Flux Factory’s front window with free slices every Friday in June (limited pizza! First come\, first serve). \nThis event is part of the exhibition Din Din\, a series of free\, socially-distanced outdoor events which use food and art to build community. \nFilm Description\n“Quick Slice”\, 23 minutes on loop\, 2019 \nTHINGS AREN’T WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE. \nNine lonely strangers converge over a quick slice inside a casual\, no bullshit\, non-committal community hub— the pizza shop. When a “contaigent” enters\, dance turns inconsequential moments into idiosyncratic gestures\, toggling between task and choreography. A subtle\, disorientating use of editing techniques and photographic devices manipulating time craft a visceral and sonically rich dreamscape. \n“Quick Slice” scales to respective environments\, utilizing available architecture and unsuspecting surfaces. Caught between the character’s gaze\, the viewer catches shards of the story projected onto their body. These seemingly accidental screenings encourage an unadulterated and kinesthetic reception of the project. \nInspired by Netta Yerushalmy’s Paramodernities Directed by Lily BaldwinProduced by Brighid GreeneEdited by Lily Baldwin\, Sara SowellVideo installation design consulting by Joseph SeamansSound Mix by Mark degli AntoniCinematography by Ben WolfAssistant Camera Sanjay SinghStills by Courtney DenkHair by Takeo Suzuki|Makeup by Hiro YonemotoMakeup Assistant Ken SuzukiFeaturing designs by PavonProduction Assistants Rishauna Zumberg\, Jaanelle Yee \nStarring Lily Baldwin\, Henry Chesley\, Geneva Frazier\, Dean Melaas\, Toni Melaas\, Katharine Padulo\, Wally Padulo\, Angie Pittman\, Peggy Schneider\, Gus Solomons Jr.\, Amy Meisner Threet \nThanks to New York Live ArtsFiscally sponsored by Los Angeles Performance Project \nArtist Bio\nBased in NYC\, Berlin and LA\, Lily Baldwin is known for her compelling\, intricate narrative forms.

Some of these images were previously displayed in Mogadishu during the Somali Arts Foundation (SAF) contemporary photography exhibit titled Still Life ( Oct. 2020). \nCentered on video and photography\, Haa Guumoben Waaliga is an exhibition that explores the passage of time through the everyday contemporary life of  Mogadishu residents before and after the civil war. \nAs artists of the Somali diaspora raised in the United Arab Emirates\, we’ve understood our culture through oral stories from our parents\, theater\, literature\, music\, poetry and folktales. Longing to experience the motherland ourselves\, we traveled to witness firsthand the magical memories and complicated history our parents kept stored in their hearts. Included in our showcase are still and moving images captured by us throughout the years woven with archival sourced from friends and family. \nHaa Guumoben Waaliga aims to offer a time portal to familiar landscapes and sounds in hopes to contribute towards intergenerational conversations about Somali identity at home and in the diaspora today. The sequence of images is a love letter to the people of Mogadishu that are so often stripped of their humanity in Western images. Our exhibition honors their resilience\, dignity\, and beauty. \nWe are not less human— despite the instability\, we remain steadfast in faith and joy. \n– Hana and Samia \n\nArtist Bios\nSomali independent filmmaker Hana Mire studied at the New York Film Academy in Abu Dhabi.

SUMMARY:Din Din: Missing Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Missing Luncheon is facilitated by Karen Krolak with food by Bianca Boragi\, featuring “Breakaway” by Heather Kapplow. \nThis event is part of the exhibition Din Din\, a series of free\, socially-distanced outdoor public events which use food and art to build community. \nReservations\nServed in Two SeatingsFor the 1pm Seating\, Please Make a Reservation hereFor the 4pm Seating\, Please Make a Reservation hereRSVP Mandatory \nLocation: 39-22 29th St\, Long Island City \nProgram Description\nWho or what did you lose in this last year? Normally\, we gather together with loved ones over food after funerals\, break ups\, and job endings but the pandemic halted that system of support. If you have been longing for one of these meals\, Karen Krolak\, creator of the Dictionary of Negative Space\, invites you to gather in the garden where laughter\, tears\, and awkward pauses are welcome to flow. We will dine on a French feast designed by Bianca Boragi and experience a poetic pop up by Heather Kapplow. Feel free to bring memories of what you’ve lost as we share stories\, moments of silence\, and moving metaphors to help us digest our grief. \nArtist Bios\nKaren Krolak is a free range collaborator based in Boston\, MA  She is the co-founder/co-Artistic Director of Monkeyhouse\, an award winning nonprofit that connects communities with choreography. Her ongoing project\, the Dictionary of Negative Space (DoNS)\, is an interdisciplinary lament for the words that the English language lacks for grief\, trauma\, and repair. Much like grief itself\, this unusual dictionary manifests in a variety of unexpected iterations. DoNS offers refuge for mourners grappling with complicated grief and was inspired by her experiences after a car crash killed her mother\, father & brother. \nHeather Kapplow creates participatory experiences that elicit unexpected intimacies using objects\, alternative interpretations of existing environments\, installation\, performance\, writing\, audio and video. “Breakaway” consists of a varied series of audience-enacted gestures woven into multiple Din Din events. It is ritual activity that conflates the notion of theatrical breakaway props — things designed to be destroyed without hurting anyone — with the idea of freedom obtained by breaking away from dysfunctional patterns rooted in traumas from the past. \nBianca Abdi-Boragi works across media using sculpture\, video\, installation\, and painting to enact representations of self and others\, often using found materials and landscapes as receptacles to address different states of being\, with a specific focus on alienation and territory. Tending towards the absurd though with care and respect\, her works respond to the contemporary political and social environment in the United States\, France\, and Algeria\, engaging with themes of gender\, subsistence\, and migration while linking this moment to the historical repercussions of post-colonialism. Abdi-Boragi is a French-Algerian/ American interdisciplinary artist who received her MFA from Yale School of Art\, Sculpture\, in 2017\, and obtained her BFA from ENSAPC. Her shows have been featured on Artnet\, Artspiel\, Taggverk Magazine amidst others. Solo shows include the Border Project Space Gallery and CADAF Art Fair\, she has exhibited with the Immigrant Artist Biennial\, NARS Foundation\, The Border Project Space\, VCU Arts\, NURTUREart Gallery\, Chashama Gallery\, Field Project Gallery\, Galerie Protégé\, The Clemente Soto Velez Center NY\, throughout the United States and internationally and has screened art films at Anthology Film Archive\, UnionDocs\, Video Revival\, NY\, the Whitney Humanity Center\, and Loria Center\, New Haven\, CT. Abdi-Boragi was the recipient of the JUNCTURE Fellowship in Art and International Human Rights from the Yale Law School and was recently in residency at NARS Foundation and previously at MASS MoCA’s studios\, the Centquatre\, Paris\, France\, Pact Zullverein\, Essen\, Germany\, Cal’Arts\, Los Angeles. Abdi-Boragi is also an independent writer/ curator and founder of Gallery Perchée.
