The screening will take place on April 19\, 2026\, at 7:00 PM at the historic Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn. \nOther Daughters features a cohort of Balkan-American filmmakers who utilize archival intervention\, analog experimentation\, and performance art to navigate the complexities of identity across generations. From the mountainous border towns of the former Yugoslavia to the basement corridors of New York City\, these works interrogate how memory is preserved\, how bodies rebel\, and how “home” is reconstructed in the diaspora. \n  \n\n  \nFeatured Works & Filmmakers:\n“Women in Gusinje” and “Koprive” by Anisa Hodzic: Hodzic’s work spans archival re-editing and visceral performance. Women in Gusinje deconstructs 1970s documentary footage to reclaim female narratives from the male gaze\, while Koprive uses the stinging nettle as a tactile metaphor for the painful yet nurturing nature of maternal healing. \n“Axilia” by Bimbi Mafia: A defiant act of self-adoration\, this film challenges cultural taboos surrounding the female body\, transforming “indecent” hair into a symbol of rebellion against societal expectations in Albania and beyond. \n“Gjurma” (Traces) by Dora Nano: A poetic archival short that connects Nano to the origins of the Kinostudio\, Albania’s first film studio. By weaving together documentary footage shot by their grandfather\, audio interview with their father\, and archival images\, Nano explores the fluidity of diasporic and collective memory through cinema. \n“Si TĂ« LashĂ«â€ by Alissa Xhixhabesi: Documented on analog formats (16mm and Super 8)\, Xhixhabesi captures her grandparents’ home on the eve of demolition\, offering a haunting meditation on the loss of physical space amidst Albania’s rapid modernization. \n“Returning\, Leaving” by Mirela Musić: An observational study of Balkan immigrant superintendents in NYC. The film documents the “disordered integration” of family life\, focusing on the quiet gestures that define the space between a daughter’s arrival and a father’s departure. \n“Scattered” by Edina Hoti: An ongoing series that explores the complex intersections of identity and displacement following the 1990s Balkan conflicts. Utilizing archival recordings of a return to Montenegro for the first time since the war\, Hoti captures the reality of a “scattered family”—individuals bound by heart and ancestral stories despite being separated by borders and oceans. Her work examines the nuanced space between everyday life and past memories through a distinct feminist lens. \nSupport: This program is made possible with support from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nAbout DXHESVA Collective:\nFounded by Anisa Hodzic\, DXHESVA Collective is a multidisciplinary initiative dedicated to fostering community spaces that honor resilience and voice. The collective serves as a bridge between personal experience and collective remembrance\, inviting dialogue across culture\, time\, and place. \nContact:\nDxhesvacollective@gmail.com\nIG @dxhesva URL:https://socialpracticecuny.org/event/other-daughters-presented-by-dxhesva-collective/ LOCATION:Millenium Flim Workshop\, 167 Wilson Ave\, Brooklyn\, NY\, 11237\, United States CATEGORIES:In-Person ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://socialpracticecuny.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/dxhesvascreeningpromo-Anisa-Hodzic.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260411T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260411T170000 DTSTAMP:20260423T161859 CREATED:20260202T182047Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260305T174807Z UID:5808-1775912400-1775926800@socialpracticecuny.org SUMMARY:ALAY: A Mourning Ritual Performance DESCRIPTION:ALAY is a mourning ritual performance created and performed by Dorothea Gloria\, rooted in Ilocano traditions of grief\, remembrance\, and offering. Drawing from ancestral practices of lamentation\, prayer\, and embodied devotion\, the work explores how grief lives in the body and how ritual can hold what language cannot. \nPositioned at the intersection of performance\, ritual\, and social practice\, ALAY treats mourning as a living\, communal practice. Through gesture\, repetition\, sound\, and presence\, the performance creates a shared space where grief is witnessed rather than explained\, and where collective attention becomes an act of care. \nALAY reframes mourning as relational and expansive. The performance asks: What does it mean to mourn together? How might ritual be adapted and reimagined within contemporary performance practice? And how can ancestral knowledge inform present-day modes of gathering\, remembrance\, and healing? \nALAY functions both as a performance and an offering to our ancestors\, to the community\, and to those carrying unspoken or unresolved grief. Audiences are invited into an intimate ritual space that prioritizes presence over spectacle and process over product\, foregrounding mourning as a shared human experience rather than an individual burden. \nCreated and performed by Dorothea Gloria\, ALAY reflects Gloria’s ongoing artistic practice of exploring theater as ritual. The work builds a bridge between inherited ceremonial practices and contemporary performance\, offering a space to sit with loss\, tenderness\, and collective remembrance. \nALAY is a durational performance. Audience can enter and exit at any point throughout the performance time.

DESCRIPTION:What happens when institutions face systematic destruction? Five leading social practice art educators confront the present.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor over two decades\, Claire Bishop\, Tania Bruguera\, Tom Finkelpearl\, Pablo Helguera\, and Gregory Sholette have developed projects that simultaneously exploit and critique pedagogical methods and structures. Organized by Gregory Sholette and Tom Finkelpearl\, this event brings all five together on February 12 to confront a pressing question: What becomes of counter-institutional pedagogies when the institutions housing them face fundamental transformation—not through progressive reimagining\, but through systematic defunding and ideological assault? What have we learned\, and what new critiques does this unsettling moment demand? Under fast-changing circumstances\, exactly how do we study in public? \n\n\n\n\nClaire Bishop \nClaire Bishop is presidential professor of art history at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Her book Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship won the College Art Association’s 2013 Frank Jewett Mather Award for art criticism.

Organized by the SPCUNY core team of artists\, educators\, and scholars\, the series responds to contemporary crises shaping the cultural field\, including the defunding and targeting of public institutions and the erosion of shared civic space. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions\, the series tests new forms of social practice in real time\, foregrounding experimentation\, solidarity\, and public accountability. \nAcross four interconnected programs\, How Do We ______ in Public? asks how we study\, move\, keep secret(s)\, and continue together in public when the infrastructures that once supported those actions are fraying.

This event is not only a chance to learn and create together\, but also a celebration of Filipino American heritage and the beloved ‘ber’ months tradition that stretches from September through December. \n📅 Date & Time: Saturday\, October 4 at 2:00 PM\n📍 Location: MoMA PS1\, Classroom (Homeroom Gallery\, 1st floor near the cafĂ©)\nđŸ’Č Admission: FREE — all materials and refreshments provided\n📝 Registration: Pre-registration is required. Please register if you plan to attend—space is limited. Once registered\, you’ll receive instructions for entering the museum. \nParols—star-shaped lanterns—are a cherished symbol of the holiday season in the Philippines\, representing light\, hope\, and togetherness. Many parols are traditionally crafted from Capiz shells\, which glow beautifully in both architecture and handicrafts. Yet\, with growing global demand\, the harvesting of Capiz has become more intensive\, raising concerns about environmental impacts and local economies. \nThis workshop is the second phase of Kumikutikutitap (“to sparkle”)\, a project designed to illuminate the Little Manila neighborhood with parols. Alongside creating art\, participants will also learn about the deeper ecological and cultural stories behind Capiz. The workshop will spark dialogue about sustainability\, climate justice\, and how creative practice can connect to care for both people and place. \nNo art experience is necessary\, and materials will be provided. Ages 12+ are welcome. Please wear clothing suitable for painting\, as spills and splashes may happen. Because parols are delicate\, the activity is best suited for those comfortable working with fine materials. Light Filipino refreshments will be served. \nPresented with love + collaboration by MoMA PS1\, Little Manila Queens Bayanihan Arts\, the UKAI Initiative\, Social Practice CUNY\, and the Coalition for Asian American Children & Families. \n  \nAccessibility\nEvent will follow host’s protocol here.
