Roaming like desert animals that understand it's enough to find a few leaves or drops of blood to slip past another day is a film screening featuring artworks selected by Los Angeles-based artist Samar Al Summary, whose exhibition, Excavating the Sky, is currently on view in ICA LA’s Project Room. 

The program brings together work by artists from across the regions of the Gulf, the Middle East, and North Africa who, like Al Summary, embrace the medium of film as a form of documentation, resistance, remembering, and imagination and a tool by which to cross the boundaries and borders that might otherwise keep us apart. Featured artists include Anhar Salem, Ansam Salem, Doody, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Basma Al Sharif, Samar Al Summary, Layth Kareem, Ali Eyal, and Jumana Manna.

Please note that this screening of the full program will be presented on loop from 11AM-5PM.

Please note: RSVPs are recommended but not required for this looped screening.
