Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, April 25 at 2 pm, the Clark Art Institute welcomes filmmaker Erin Johnson for a screening and discussion of her recent work exploring the entanglements of ecology, feminist science studies, and documentary practice. 
 
The screening and talk take place in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
According to a press release: 
 
Johnson's films and installations weave together speculative and archival research, performance, and personal narrative to reveal the colonial and heteronormative legacies embedded within scientific knowledge systems. Developed through collaborations with scientists, theorists, activists, and performers, these works—set everywhere from the United States' largest nuclear weapons facility to one of the country's largest herbaria—offer poetic meditations on survival, erasure, and possibility, while reimagining relationships to the natural world through a queer biocentric lens.
