In celebration of the new season of Art in the Twenty-First Century, this season of Screening Society focuses on the episode “Between Worlds.” Beginning November 1, 2025, any organization or community group—whether a school, university, library, museum, senior center, or beyond—is welcome to host a free public screening of an hour-long curated block of films. The following artists will be featured:
- Sophie Calle
- Tuan Andrew Nguyen
- Dyani White Hawk
- Lubaina Himid
The internationally acclaimed artists in “Between Worlds” work at intersections and crossroads using their artistic practices to make sense of complex histories of colonization and migration, find common ground between cultures, and break down divides that otherwise seem fixed. Across four artistic practices, myriad cultures and historical contexts, as well as countless expressions of creativity, care, and connection, this episode follows four artists as they illustrate the capacity of art to unite a world that often feels divided.
