Tastes Like Mandy

CODEC GALLERY: MAY 19 - AUG 12

Tastes Like Mandy is a visceral experience that combines queer visual cues with assembled audio recordings. Dark emotive tones harmonize and conceal layers of vibration among which the listener moves within the dimly blue-lit space. Walk your way around intricately placed human spines, illuminated with minimal light, that sit above a soft, bright pink rug.

FREE FILM SCREENING

Welcome to Refugeestan

JUN 14 | 7 - 9 PM @ UMOCA

UMOCA and the Utah Film Center invite you to join us for the free film screening of Welcome to Refugeestan. Directed by Anne Poiret, this film is an exploration of the refugee system and its failures that can keep people trapped and stateless for decades. Welcome to Refugeestan depicts visits to camps around the world, as well as UNHCR's headquarters in Geneva, revealing a system that combines humanitarian concerns with the management of those whom rich countries want to keep out. Watch the trailer here.
