Hollow Tree is a feature-length documentary that follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeplace of Louisiana. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and polluting refineries. Their different perspectives — as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women — shape their story of the climate crisis.
Offered in connection with MAAM’s current exhibition, Displacement, this film screening will be followed by a short conversation featuring Kira Akerman, director of Hollow Tree, with Brian Hone, Curator of Education at MassArt Art Museum. Audience Q&A to follow.
Complimentary popcorn provided.
MassArt Art Museum will open at 5:00pm on the evening of this event. The galleries will be open for viewing between 5:00-8:00pm for individuals who have registered in advance for this event. The film screening will begin at 6:00pm. The Museum will be accessible to registered event guests only.
