The galleries at PCC will be showing two works by Natalie Bookchin. "the act of changing something’s position” is an outdoor site-specific video billboard on the front lawn of PCC that collages videos from black-led uprisings shared on the internet. The slow-moving, looped projection depicts movement in one place as an act of staying put, “standing ground”, and occupying space, even when confronted with dispersal and disappearance.
The Boone Family Gallery Art Gallery will exhibit an installation of Bookchin’s 40 minute film Long Story Short, a video that uses experimental editing to stitch together dozens of interviews of people living in poverty and homelessness into a collective first person account of race, poverty, protest, and identity. The majority of the interviews were conducted in Pasadena’s Union Station Homeless Services.
