New Folklore

The third installment in our Wild Mythologies series brings together Angeline Marie Michael Meitzler and Stephanie Deumer for a screening and conversation on myth, story, and collective memory. Featuring Meitzler’s The Bird, The Girl and The Typhoon and Deumer’s Spooky Action at a Distance, the program explores how folklore and media shape cultural narratives around survival, value, and gender. The conversation is moderated by our 2025 Curatorial Fellow, Jessica Holtaway.

Curated and hosted by 2025 Curatorial Fellow Jessica Holtaway, the episode explores the long-term impact of nuclear technologies and the challenge of thinking across geological time. Featuring Veit Stratmann and Aimee Lax, the discussion considers how myth, ritual, and material practice can help us make sense of the invisible and enduring presence of nuclear waste.

New Broadcast series curated by Jessica Holtaway

Wild Mythologies is a curated series of discussions and screenings that explore emerging eco-cultural narratives.

Each artist contributes new questions, offering imaginative responses to the environmental crises shaping our world today.

The 181

We are pleased to welcome the 181 collective with special guests Sage Derezin and Eloise Fairbrother, who will be gathering in the Los Angeles area — starting next week — for three compositions.

As a collective, 181 is interested in creating situations that generate experiential spaces which expand, contract, or reassemble as information sloshes about. Imperfect approximations of the universe as a whole.
