Curator Michael Robinson in attendance

Co-presented by Aurora and Fotofest and organized by Houston-based independent film curator Michael Robinson, this selection of short films examines disparate social, cultural, and political issues and movements. Held in conjunction with the FotoFest Biennial 2022: If I Had a Hammer, this special screening further examines the ways artists utilize images to unpack the ideological underpinnings that inspire collective cultural movements around the globe. The program includes films by Majid Al-Remaihi, Razan AlSalah, Robert Buck, Ulysses Jenkins, Darol Olu Kae, Dana Plays, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Cauleen Smith. The exhibition If I Had a Hammer is on view at Silver Street Studios and Winter Street Studios Sept. 24–Nov. 6.
