The exhibit Shared Magma: An American and Swedish Collaboration on Sisterhood and Sister Ore<\/em> celebrates the intersection of Late Proterozoic geology and a contemporary friendship between Swedish artist Kajsa G. Eriksson and Robin Wheelwright Ness, Senior Library Technologist in Digital Preservation at the John Hay Library. Featuring original works created from iron-based pigments by Eriksson, Shared Magma<\/em> explores how deep time, shared lifetimes, and the future entangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"film<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ritual<\/em> is a 55-minute long experimental film by Kajsa G. Eriksson, Lena Berglin, and Maria Magnusson that explores the greed for energy as a social, material, and historical phenomenon. The film highlights how life in urban centers is dependent on nature and the people living in sparsely-populated communities in Sweden. Ritual<\/em> features eleven Swedish sites of extraction juxtaposed against the ever increasing dependence on digital technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now through the end of the day, Thursday, September 10, you can watch Ritual online for free through this link: filmfreeway.com\/Ritual929<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screening of <\/em>Ritual is arranged with support of Kulturbryggan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
