Queer|Art|Mentorship Film Fellow Brian Gonzalez shares a video experience inspired by the supernatural world of his upcoming feature film, Those Who Didn't Run, set in 1941 on a farm along the Texas/Mexico border.
Illustrated as an ongoing visual study titled Invisible Violence, the work becomes a visual requiem for the Mexican farm workers who were burned alive or wounded in the routine gasoline baths mandated by American immigration policy at the Mexican-American border a century ago, as the slur of “illegal” immigration was birthing.
On 21 November 2020, a special live performance at Norwood Club and will be accompanied by an original acapella performance by composer Renzo Vitale, performed live by members of BARE Opera and preceded by a conversation with QAM Mentor Rodrigo Bellott & Invisible Violence director Brian Gonzalez — broadcasted to the world in real-time, only on MIDHEAVEN.network.
THROUGH live arts programming from A GLOBAL phalanx OF performance, visual art, social justice, human development and cinema/ digital/ VR voyagers, MIDHEAVEN will ADVANCE COURAGEOUS, loving & possibility-driven VISIONS to the world.
