Participatory Event with Every Ocean Hughes and Screening of One Big Bag (2021, 40 mins)

Organized by Prem Krishnamurthy

KADIST and the Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art present Ways of Transforming, a participatory, multi-modal event and screening organized by Prem Krishnamurthy with artist, death doula, and creative coach Every Ocean Hughes.

The event marks the first screening in New England of Hughes’ One Big Bag (2021), from the KADIST collection. At turns both tragic and comedic, One Big Bag is a 40-minute film that meditates on the essential yet mostly unseen work of preparing the bodies of those who have passed away.

This participatory program will feature a discussion between Hughes and Krishnamurthy on themes and tools of transformation, transition, and therapy. Inspired by Hughes’ decades-long performance and pedagogical practice, the event will incorporate movement, conversation, journaling, mindfulness, and feedback—plus some karaoke to close!

Please join us for a unique event exploring how transformation takes place even through what seems like an end.

This collaboration is part of KADIST’s ongoing international program Double Takes, which activates film and video works through physical and online presentations at partner institutions.
