Collage Party Feat Kaila Bhullar

Join us for a collage party led by experimental filmmaker Kaila Bhullar. Inspired by the eclectic moving image works featured in the inaugural Lind Biennial, January’s Collage Party draws on the collage films of Bhullar, who works directly on the surface of her super 8 film to create unexpected, sensorial juxtapositions of images. Their short film, Birth, Death + Entertainment, will be screened alongside a brief artist presentation. Attendees can then make collages from a range of printed matter, experimenting with their own creative image superimpositions.

Doors at 6:00pm

Collage party begins at 6:30pm

RSVPs are appreciated

Birth, Death + Entertainment
6 min, Canada, 2024
An audiovisual collage incorporating recorded and found footage, altered super 8 film, still images, and digital manipulations. Birth, Death + Entertainment explores the intersectionality of a queer and neurodivergent identity and its subsequent correlations to existential dread.

About Kaila Bhullar
Kaila Bhullar (She/They) is a queer Indo-Chilean experimental filmmaker + multimedia artist based in the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ nations. Informed by digitally-based art forms, Bhullar explores various dispositions concerning identity and perception, including contemplations around the existential and political implications of images and technology. They use moving images and sound as a means to express the abstractions within these intersections, rendering their inquiries to often manifest as collages of varying forms, video or audiovisual works, and multimedia installations. Some of their recent exhibition and screening history includes Centre A, Gallery Gachet, What Lab, XINEMA, The Polygon Gallery, Massy Arts Gallery, UNIT/PITT, and The Small File Media Festival.
