Interested in learning more about ideas, influences and trends in the visual arts? Relax in the comfortable atmosphere of Studio 64 to watch a movie about art and share in a casual guided discussion afterwards.
Centre 64 begins its Friday night ART Movie program on January 20, at 7:30 pm, with the award-winning 90-minute documentary “Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry”. This is the inside story of China’s most famous dissident artist of the digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics. Against a backdrop of strict censorship and an unresponsive legal system, Ai expresses himself and organizes people through art and social media. In response, Chinese authorities have shut down his blog, beat him up, bulldozed his newly built studio, and held him in secret detention.
The film series continues with “Emily Carr: Winds of Heaven” to be shown on February 17 at 7:30 pm, and concludes with “Ansel Adams” on March 17 at 7:30 pm.
Admission by donation. Light snacks provided. No host bar.
