How do you mourn a film? Inspired by recurring conversations around the so-called “death of cinema,” the exhibition Laas / Absan / Peldía explores how cinema in the Caribbean is haunted by experiences of loss and absence.

Art, Art History, and Design
Stanley and Selma Hollander Lecture Series
Juan Cortés is a Colombian artist, researcher and creative technologist working at the intersection of digital culture, memory studies, and ecological politics. His practice explores how technological systems shape historical narratives, territorial governance, and botanical knowledge, with a particular focus on South America.

Lecture — On Vegetal Politics
Tuesday, October 13, 6:00 pm, 107 S. Kedzie
The lecture examines how botanical classification, agricultural data systems and computational models shape the perception, ordering and governance of vegetal life. Drawing on Juan’s artistic research and on works such as Botánica Transgénica, On Vegetal Politics and A Tale of Two Seeds: Sound and Silence in Latin America’s Andean Plains, he look at how these systems operate as colonial infrastructures that standardise life while erasing local forms of knowledge, and at how artistic practice can open other ways of sensing, representing and relating to plant life across ecological, technological and political registers.
 
 
Workshop — Escaping the Model: Classification, Taxonomy and Artistic Research
Friday, October 16, location/time TBA
The workshop treats classification and taxonomy as cultural, historical and technological frameworks rather than neutral systems of description. It builds on an article Juan co-authored with José-Carlos Mariátegui on the limitations of the Linnaean categorisation model in the age of AI, and asks how living forms are named, ordered, reduced and made legible through scientific, archival and computational structures. Participants work through discussion and practical exercises toward speculative and artistic strategies for handling what resists classification — alternative forms of representation, notation and relational knowledge. by @msuclacs
