Details

Join us as Ecuadorian artist and filmmaker Diana Orduna presents Collapse to Belong, a trilogy of experimental nonfiction short films exploring migration, identity, and belonging. Moving between documentary, essay film, and experimental audiovisual forms, the films use personal archives, fragmented memories, and imagination to question how we reconstruct our own histories. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the artist about cinema, autobiography, and artistic experimentation.
