Since 1995, Theo Cuthand has produced approximately thirty-five video works that often address issues of queerness, indigeneity, and mental health from a first-person perspective. His works show the self in context and identity in constant flux. This creates affective infrastructures in which multiplicity and difference are inherent. What may appear at first glance as introspection turns out to be an artistic approach deeply interested in relational issues and aimed at exploring spaces of possibility for reparative, collective futures.

On view are:

• Lessons in Baby Dyke Theory, CA 1995
• Helpless Maiden Makes an "I" Statement, CA 2000
• Love & Numbers, CA 2004
• You Are a Lesbian Vampire, CA 2008
• Sight, CA 2012
• 2 Spirit Introductory Special $19.99, CA 2015

Language beyond language. Language inspite of language explores the sea, feminine strength, seismic forces and the shamanic through gestures, glitches in movements, breathing and sounds. Together, these concepts form their own materially tactile vocabulary. Through videos by Sancintya Mohini Simpson, Jane Jin Kaisen, and Alberta Whittle, a sound work by Himali Singh Soin and a conversation about language, gestures and silence with Anna Jäger, SAVVY Contemporary, language becomes saturated with itself, pointing to deeply internal aspects that transcend what is said.

On view are:

• Sancintya Mohini, Simpson Blood-Link, 2013
• Alberta Whittle, Reset, 2019
• Jane Jin Kaisen, Offering – Coil Embrace, KOR 2023
• Himali Singh Soin, An Affirmation, 2022

The Ruin That Has Become Our Collective Home is deeply rooted in the positions of artists, whose impressive artistic practice produces critical interrogations guided by a generous listening: Adding rather than erasing, observing rather than imposing, rewriting rather than perpetuating hegemonic narratives of domination and destruction. The works of Santiago Mostyn, Alice Bucknell, Musquiqui Chihying, Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, and Naomi Rincón Gallardo, all have in common that they question oppressive narratives and construct new taxonomies through the lens of critical fabrication, speculative fiction, and stories that tell of resilience and solidarities. The program opens with a live performance by multidisciplinary artist donna Kukama.

On view are:

• Santiago Mostyn, Dream One, SWE 2022
• Musquiqui Chihying, The Lightning, 2021
• Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, Impresiones para una máquina de luz y sonido (Impressions of a Light and Sound Machine), MEX 2014
• Alice Bucknell, The Alluvials: Chapter 1: California-pilled, 2023
• Naomi Rincón-Gallardo, Resiliencia Tlacuache, MEX 2019

At the early days of the pandemic, there was a brief period of bonding. Many spent time at home processing their worries in homemade food and drink. While the first season Identities and Recipes (Pre-Pandemic) deals with the hybrid identity of Ji Su Gatto, the second season provides insight into the kitchens and living conditions of others. The YouTube videos now find their way to the big screen three years later. They are works made, produced and developed by both artists and non-artists. Season 2 ends with Suse Itzel's work How to make lentil stew without touching your hands - using extended kitchen utensils that give the impression of drawn weapons, for protection. But the cooking process does not look professional, but deliberately flawed.

On view are works by:
Ji Su Kang-Gatto, Johann Husser, Federico Gatto, Giorgi Gedevanidze + Sissy Schneider, Dilara Raika Er, Julia Jesionek + Luisa Alfonso, Ida Kammerloch, Hani Gimna + Yonghyuk Kim, Anastasia Pusch, Victoria X Ruhe, Carlos Backes + Victoria Lund, Seongmin Yuk, Tanja Ritterbex, Dani Kim, Julius Continental, Sana Afzal, Hyeseon Jeong, Seongjin Park + Sungae Kim, Luisa Stricker, Lotta Aurora, Arometz, Thomas Lambertz, Jeesoo Hong + Kihuun Park, Mathilde Hawkins + Max Mauro Schmid, Suzin Bahc, Victoria Herzog, Nathan Schönewolf, Suse Itzel
