Pond Farm Pottery’s July Artist-in-Residence Asmara Beraki will screen her series of short films called Quotidian Cinematics followed by a Q&A session and a workshop on how to make your own creative short films using only your phone or laptop computer.

Please bring a laptop or smartphone with a video editing application already installed such as iMovie or Adobe Rush or any other easy editing software.  No experience necessary.

Asmara Beraki is primarily a filmmaker but also writes poetry and articles, quilts, and engages in a visual art practice (collage, drawing, and painting).

In her own words, «I believe art and the nurturing of the creative spirit is crucial for healthy societies and communities. Art is a mode of communication that is intuitive, tactile, visual, auditory, metaphysical and so on; art stimulates many other senses not merely those possessed by the rational or logical mind.»
