Join a screening and talk with the artist Tintin Wulia on her 2017 video work A Thousand and One Martian Nights, part of her ongoing research into the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66 and their reverberations over time. Taking as a point of departure an internment camp on Mars, the film presents a series of stories told in the year 2165 by the survivors of political turmoil that took place one hundred years before. These stories are adapted from the artist’s and actors’ own experiences and memories and are interwoven with NASA footage documenting interplanetary research in 1965.
