Please join us this Thursday night at 7pm, for this "Super-8 History" presentation! Presented in partnership with @onetakesuper8reginask.

In this talk on "Super-8 Histories" Gerald Saul will discuss the super-8 film form and it changing uses over time; from it's global beginnings in middle-class home movies to its decline and re-invention as a artist medium (particularly within Canada), to Saul's own re-discovery of it within his personal filmmaking practice, and the rise of interest in super-8 within Saskatchewan.

Gerald Saul is a professor in the Department of Film at the University or Regina whose career began with backyard 8mm filmmaking 45 years ago.

Earth and Water and Me: A Performance by Thirza Cuthand
Friday, July 23, 5pm CST/7pm EST
WATCH online at therhythmofthisdesire.com (#linkinbio)

In this live-streamed performance, Cuthand will explore her connection to the earth and what it feels like to belong to the prairies when you are living in someone else’s territory. Using their body, soil, water, and projections of the prairies with a recorded monologue about her homeland, she hopes to recreate the feeling of laying on the ground in a place where you know you belong.

With gratitude to A Space Gallery and Collective Broadcast Co.

☀️ Today’s the day! ☀️

PAVED Arts' online exhibition, The Rhythm Of This Desire: Works By Thirza Cuthand (curated by our Interim Artistic Director Sarah-Tai Black), is now up!

Program 1 premieres today and, if you're not familiar with Thirza's earlier work, we highly recommend that you treat yourself to a viewing of it because it's sharp and funny and very gay. Plus, be sure to read the lovely exhibition essay that we were so grateful to commission from the wonderful Erica Violet Lee.

The entire exhibition, which includes three shorts programs, a live-streamed performance by Thirza, as well as an artist talk facilitated by Jas M. Morgan can be viewed at www.therhythmofthisdesire.com (link in bio).

Thirza's Live-Streamed Performance will be on July 23, and her artist talk will be on August 13. Stay tuned!

----

A loose retrospective of Regina-born artist, writer, and performer Thirza Cuthand’s moving image works, The Rhythm Of This Desire is an online exhibition that sits with the diverse intimacies of the artist’s vast filmography. Spanning two and a half decades, Cuthand’s experimental narratives consider the lived realities and intersections of Indigeneity, queer and Two-Spirit identity, sexuality, and madness with a mindful awareness often borne of the personal. The autobiographical, the fictive, and the performative coalesce in varying intensities throughout their work in a way that gives over space to the necessity of internal subjectivities as well as the urgencies of the oftentimes not-so-external world.
