We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully.

Requests made by two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the Wexner Center for the Arts will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
As part of our monthly collaboration with Ohio State’s Cinéseries group, Milwaukee-based filmmaking duo Sofia Theodore-Pierce and Sara Sowell join us to present a collection of new shorts.
Both Sowell and Theodore-Pierce rely on the camera as an investigative tool for deciphering memory, material, and theory in an attempt to make sense of the world around and within us. Stick around after the screening for a conversation with the filmmakers.

In the words of Cinéseries' members: Cinéseries is a student-led group that organizes monthly screenings in collaboration with the Wexner Center for the Arts. We aim to offer a space for students and the community to engage with film and expanded cinema from makers from a variety of backgrounds. We aspire to create an environment conducive to critical engagement by inviting filmmakers to showcase work that takes risks, challenges norms, and opens a conversation by devoting to a wide range of artist-centered and independent media.
