where did we land is an ongoing experiment interrogating the effect of images of anti-black violence produced and reproduced in film and media. The first iteration, an installation of still and distorted archival images on acetate hung from the ceiling, was presented in sorryyoufeeluncomfortable collective’s exhibition (BUT) WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY? at The Gallow Gate as part of Glasgow International Festival 2018. This iteration takes the form of a moving image essay, presenting original images and texts that speak to the problems of the spectacular for Black subjects onscreen. The accompanying exhibition programme will include screenings, talks and a study day that will make public the research Rabz Lansiquot has been undertaking during her curatorial residency at LUX. The research attempts to approach Black film from a position of liberation as opposed to representation. It will act as both a trial and a taster of an upcoming Black Film Anti-School format.
