Mills Folly Microcinema

press release: Mills Folly Microcinema presents Seeing Pink, an evening of short videos by Ariel Teal at Arts + Literature Laboratory on Wednesday, November 30, 7:00 p.m. Admission $5.00, free for ALL members. Seating is limited, 

Seeing Pink features a series of personal narrative videos that tell a non-linear story of healing from artist Ariel Teal. The works in this program explore femme embodiment, the boundaries of sexuality and desire, and what it means to be socialized as a “girl.” Collaging self-shot video, text, appropriated media and animation, Teal reconstructs memory and narrates her experiences as a form of self-actualization. This series reflects the attempts to understand love, intergenerational trauma, and experiences of sexual violence. Ariel Teal will introduce the screening and discuss the videos in a Q & A session afterwards.

Ariel Teal (she/they) is an artist, activist, and current graduate student in the Sandra Rosenbaum School of Social Work at UW-Madison. Previously, Teal received her MFA in Film from UW-Milwaukee where she taught for 5 years and was the Program Director of the Union Cinema. She has screened her films at the Echo Park Film Center, Florida Experimental Film & Video Festival, Anthology Film Archives, Onion City Film Festival, and Kassel Dokfest, among others.
