THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY
THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY, a new three-channel film by Naeem Mohaiemen revisits the turbulent 1970s in America, a decade of hopeful rebellions and catastrophic disappointments.
The decade of the 1970s is repeatedly revisited by Mohaiemen, who explores the promise and heartbreak of revolutionary uprisings through films, photography, drawings, and essays.
THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY focuses on crisis moments in May 1970 when American students protesting domestic racism and overseas wars were met by state violence. The work brings together the Kent State shootings on 4 May, in which four students were killed, and the fatal shooting of two students at Jackson State, a Historically Black College, just 10 days later.
