“plant portals: breath” is screening at LADA accompanying Lateisha Davine Lovelace-Hanson’s beautiful film “The Gift”.

—

Please join us for the screening of Lateisha Davine Lovelace-Hanson’s The Gift as the final of four LADA Screens events centred around the themes of voice, care and healing.

Lateisha’s gentle yet fierce film explores the heart-felt intimacies and questions found within healing, belonging and personal growth. Following The Gift, Lateisha will screen the film plant portals: breath (2020) by multidisciplinary artist/filmmaker Nicky Chue (aka seedling library), which connects bumblebees, colonial trauma, alternate universes, and the concept of ‘rest’ in a meditation on the unspoken history many queer and trans people of colour carry, attempting to ask: Can nature heal us?

Lateisha will be joined by collaborators Kes Gill-Martin and Ava Riby-Williams for a discussion and interactive sonic/music offerings.
