Join us for a film screening of Professor. Denise Ferreira da Silva’s film Soot Breath/Corpus Infinitum, a collaboration with filmmaker Arjuna Neuman. Soot Breath/Corpus Infinitum is a film dedicated to tenderness. It explores the nexus of environmental challenges, racial disparities, and health impacts, emphasizing the disproportionate effects of resource extraction on marginalized communities. Turning away from European and colonial constructions of the human the film turns to the skin, heat, and tenderness, as a way to speculate how to live otherwise with other humans.
