Sweaty Eyeballs Presents: Smoke Mixtape

Sweaty Eyeballs Presents: Smoke Mixtape
Tuesday, March 12, 7pm | SNF Parkway Theatre
$10 General / $8 Member / $5 for students with valid student ID
Program Running Time - 85 minutes
Ticket Purchase Link | Facebook Event
Sweaty Eyeballs is excited to present a program guest curated by Miranda Javid. Smoke Mixtape is a collection of videos, excerpts, and sounds that focus on the amorphous and ephemeral qualities of being a body in contemporary society. Not quite a film series, the block follows the principle of the mixtape, that ancient communiqué, by underscoring minor elements of the featured works through DJ-like editing and tracklist. Several of the most recent pieces were created in response to the prompt, specifically for the purpose of the mixtape. The lineup includes sounds, interviews, and live action, with a strong emphasis on animation. Inspired by Post-Humanist theory, the series looks to the un-containable model of a vapor. In doing so, these selections ask: can we truly know unfamiliar bodies?
Mixtape Contributors:
Carmina Escobar • Gustav Deutsch • Mary Beams • Jamila Reddy • Rosa Aiello • Austin Vaughn • Daniel Rowe • Lilli Carré • Vincent Lynen • Esther Leslie • Sasha Bergstrom Katz • Max Guy • Dad Pranks Collective ...and a few other surprises.
