Join us on a film night at Stadtkino Basel after a short tour through Alia Farid’s current exhibition In Lieu of What Is. Two films will be shown on the screen: Chibayish by the artist herself, first released in April 2022 at the Whitney Biennial, and An Uncomfortable Eagerness by Hilda Mantilla and Raimond Chaves, thematically linking to the exhibition and providing another perspective on the world’s most important resource. Enjoy a refreshing drink after the screening, and let the evening slowly come to an end.
Meeting point: Foyer Kunsthalle Basel
Cost for the evening incl. drink 15.- CHF
This evening is a cooperation between the artist Alia Farid, Kunsthalle Basel, and the Stadtkino Basel.
