May 10th @ LACMA with Alia Syed
8:00 pm, Artist and filmmaker Alia Syed presents a lecture and screening of her films. Born in Wales (UK) of South Asian and Welsh descent, Alia Syed's work explores issues of identity and representation, often employing rhythmic and cyclical elements in which characters, places, text, images, and sound coincide with and at times oppose conventional narrative structures. Syed's interest in time and memory is the basis for her storytelling, in which the personal reality is interwoven with the film's narratives, ultimately creating a space for dialogue and reflection. Her most recent work, Eating Grass, filmed in Lahore, Karachi and London overlaps five narratives in correlation to the five times of day for Muslim prayer. Her work has been featured in shows on three continents, most recently in the Edge of Desire show at the Queens Museum of Art in New York.
This program is free and open to the Public. For inquiries please send an e-mail to: [email protected] or call 323-857-6091. Location: Brown Auditorium, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048

The show will kickoff with the widely critically acclaimed documentary by Raeshem Nijjon called "Brown Like Dat." Raeshem was recently featured in the leading hip hop magazine XXL for "Brown Like Dat," in which she talks about the growing movement of South Asian hip hop. Look for performances by some of the best dancers in Los Angeles, as they perform hip hop breakdancing to khathak and bharat-natyam. Info & tickets: rukusavenue.com
