FRIDAY

Everyone remembers Mi Casa, Your Casa, the site-specific installation that has served as a months-long nexus of performances, exhibitions, and community activation. It continues: the CORE Performance Company will debut Sue Schroeder’s dance/performance a home is a home is a home, exploring exactly the themes you’re thinking, at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Georgia State ensemble Bent Frequency had been scheduled to provide musical accompaniment, but have withdrawn “in solidarity with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra musicians.”

FRIDAY-SATURDAY

The Movement Gallery of Art will open a new group exhibition entitled millennialon Friday and Saturday nights. The show sounds standard — “the work encapsulates the millennial movement and how the digital age has impacted the visual arts” — but there’s little chance that it is, featuring work from artists including Morgan Cole, Chandler Galloway, Hayden John, Olivia Rado, Smitty, and others. The mediums vary; the focus on technological infusion does not. With an opening reception from 7-10 p.m., on Friday, and 6-10 p.m., on Saturday

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

The work of the Black Audio Film Collective — the 30-year-old group of diaspora British filmmakers who “seized the idea of ‘blackness’ as an identity marker as well as a claim to political visibility” — is coming to Georgia State for two weekends of screenings and discussion, exhibiting a total of 12 films. The event was organized by liquid blackness and will include BAFC co-founder David Lawson and historian Eddie Chambers. Here’s the full schedule for both weekends. Remember this: work from the Diaspora shouldn’t be seen in a vacuum, or sampled, and GSU’s slate — it’s free! — avoids both.
