*CRACKER POLITICS: THE LIMITS OF COLONIAL KNOWLEDGECURATED BY MICHAEL ADNO*
Millennium Workshop is pleased to present Michael Adno’s Cracker Politics, The Limits of Colonial Knowledge. In Cracker Politics, Adno interrogates colonial narratives of our country’s past, working towards a more fluid and layered understanding of our relationship to history and its archive. These documents and monuments—embedded with traces of our past—invite us to ask questions rather than provide facts. This collection of films from the Florida State Archives aims to show how moving image, photography, and the archive are screens upon which wider social forces make themselves visible. Moreover, the project tries to map the inextricable ties between the colonial period of Florida and the post-colonial present. Those bonds lie in the hyper-coded colonial knowledge that has fashioned the archive, history, and our idiosyncratic understanding of them. Their legibility serves as the deeds to our past and ultimately our future. Cracker Politics strives to integrate America’s colonial history into the global post-colonial entanglement, creating space for this discourse to grow and expand exponentially. This film screening will be the second iteration of Michael Adno’s Cracker Politics, The Limits of Colonial Knowledge. Following an initial installation from earlier this year that was developed over six months conducting research on site in Florida as well as the Library of Congress and Smithsonian Archives in Washington, D.C. The initial installation employed photography, film, sculpture, and sound. Continuing from that, this curated collection of films continues Michael’s project-based work looking at the epistemological undercurrents embedded in our past. Two films from the initial installation will be shown during this screening as well. Michael Adno is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in project-based installation Admission: $10 ($6 members) http://millenniumfilm.org/ -- www.stephaniewuertz.com
