Movement Lab Film Installation: The Break-Up
- Monday, October 20, through Thursday, October 30 (various dates), 1 to 4 pm, Movement Lab (Milstein LL020)
- As part of the Movement Lab’s Installation, Performance, and Talk Series, Barnard Dance Professor Gabri Christa’s film “The Break-Up” will play in the Movement Lab at various times in October. The film came out of Christa’s friendship and creative partnership with LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, a poet, sound artist, curator, and author. The film tells the story of Diggs’ struggle to fight to remain in her rent-controlled apartment, using filmed footage from Christa and Diggs, archival material, and excerpts from Digg’s book Village to tell both Diggs’ story and the broader story of the NYC housing crisis.
