Into the Oceanic: Double-Screening Event

On Saturday, June 10, The Umbrella Visual Arts Program and A La Luz will present Into the Oceanic: A Documentary Film and Creative Projection, a companion dual-screening to accompany the current exhibition in the Main Gallery, Points of Return.

Focusing on restoring underwater habitats, the documentary examines how artists and scientists can apply their skills to provide foresight and clarity in regard to the climate emergency, our relationship with the environment and our historical responsibility for what occurs in it. Documentary screening and pre-recorded remarks by Dr Gary Husband—focusing on the educational entry points of Points of Return—will be screened at 7:30pm in the main theater. This event is free but requires RSVP.
