SINDHU THIRUMALAISAMY: CONCRETE STORIES
Saturday, October 11 (7pm)
Aurora Picture Show – 5601A Navigation Blvd.
$10 / Free for Aurora members

Aurora presents Houston-based artist Sindhu Thirumalaisamy’s concrete stories, an immersive program incorporating moving images, sounds, and writings by the artist and her collaborators. This project comes out of long-term visual research into the “set and forget” logic of hyper-development in wetland regions of both the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southern India. A response to the prioritization of infrastructures over regional lifeways, this work invites us to think about the making and unmaking of places, and about materials that are not only “out there” but also inside us. A Q&A with the artist follows the program.
