Other Daughters presented by Dxhesva Collective
2026-04-19 19:00 (America/New_York) | Millenium Flim Workshop, 167 Wilson Ave, Brooklyn, NY, 11237, United States
DXHESVA Collective Presents Other Daughters: A New Wave of Balkan-Diasporic Cinema at Millennium Film Workshop
BROOKLYN, NY — April 19, 2026 — The DXHESVA Collective is proud to announce Other Daughters, a curated program of short films exploring the intersections of heritage, gender, and the immigrant experience. The screening will take place on April 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the historic Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn.
Other 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.

Featured Works & Filmmakers:
“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.
“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.
“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.
“Si Të Lashë” 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.
“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.
“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.
Support: 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.
About DXHESVA Collective:
Founded 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.

ALAY: A Mourning Ritual Performance
2026-04-11 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | BAX Annex, 80 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, NY, 11217, United States
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.
Positioned 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.
ALAY 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?
ALAY 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.
Created 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.
ALAY is a durational performance. Audience can enter and exit at any point throughout the performance time.

How Do We Study in Public?
2026-02-12 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | CTHQ, 59 E 4th St, Floor 7, New York, NY, 10003, United States
What happens when institutions face systematic destruction? Five leading social practice art educators confront the present.

For 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?

About the Series
Produced by Social Practice CUNY, How Do We ______ in Public? is a free public programming series of four experimental events taking place across New York City throughout 2026. 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.
Across 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.

Responses needed at this link by October 14, 2025 11:59pm.

For one evening on Thursday, October 23, the King Manor Museum on Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, will host a sound installation from the project Sounding Data Justice, a collaborative effort between Eastern Queens Alliance, Inc., York College CUNY, and SUNY Buffalo. The installation will transform the rooms of the house-museum into spaces for listening to invite reflection on the long history of today’s environmental justice issues.
For more information and to RSVP, please complete the form at this link.
Visitors will hear aircraft noise recorded in Springfield Gardens, a Southeast Queens neighborhood where residents live with day-to-day noise and pollution burden under flight paths from JFK Airport. Members of the Sounding Data Justice research team will facilitate conversation in the rooms of the museum, a historic home significant in the early 19th century anti-slavery movement in the United States, just over a mile from the location of The Green (present-day Bricktown), a 19th century community of African American freepersons and formerly enslaved people that contributed to efforts organizing a Black press, advocating for equity in education, and building thriving neighborhoods for the self-determination of people of color on Long Island.
‘Sounding Data Justice’ is funded by the American Council of Learned Societies Digital Justice Seed Grant and is supported by the Social Practice CUNY (SPCUNY) faculty fellowship project, the Jamaica Forum for Public Art Otherwise.
Light fare and refreshments will be served. Admission and snacks are free!

KUMUKUTIKUTITAP: PAROL-PAINTING WORKSHOP
2025-10-04 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Queens, NY, 11101, United States
Join us for a joyful, hands-on workshop led by artist Maria Arenas, where we’ll paint Capiz parols—traditional Filipino lanterns that sparkle with light, resilience, and community. 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.
📅 Date & Time: Saturday, October 4 at 2:00 PM
📍 Location: MoMA PS1, Classroom (Homeroom Gallery, 1st floor near the café)
💲 Admission: FREE — all materials and refreshments provided
📝 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.
Parols—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.
This 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.
No 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.
Presented 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.
