Screening | Between Worlds

The internationally acclaimed artists in “Between Worlds” work at intersections and crossroads, using their artistic practices to make sense of complex histories of colonization and migration, find common ground between cultures, and break down divides that otherwise seem fixed. From installing the majority of her personal belongings in an exhibition at the Musée Picasso in Paris, to a funerary exhibition for decomposing artworks in millennia-old underground tunnels in Arles, Sophie Calle’s long-celebrated conceptual practice blurs boundaries between art and life to create profoundly touching works that speak to both the universal and the mundane. Through his narrative filmmaking and sculptural practice, Tuan Andrew Nguyen collaborates with Vietnamese communities around the world, from Louisiana, U.S.A., to Quảng Trị, Vietnam, to tell untold stories of colonization, migration, and solidarity. Building on centuries of tradition, Dyani White Hawk weaves together the intricate abstractions of Lakota beadwork and the legacy of modernist painting to create artworks that model how we might honor all cultures that contribute to the rich landscape of American art. A pioneer of the 1980s Black Arts Movement in the United Kingdom, Lubaina Himid creates vibrant figurative paintings and installations that invite viewers into conversation around forgotten histories and pressing issues while asserting the presence of people and communities often erased from historical memory. Across four artistic practices, myriad cultures and historical contexts, as well as countless expressions of creativity, care, and connection, this episode follows as four artists illustrate the capacity of art to unite a world that often feels divided.
