Triangulating the exhibition projects Yang tidak lupa, Intimate Landscapes, and ongoing exhibitions and programmes at the NUS Baba House, Worlding Through Cinema is a film programme focusing on subjectivities that encounter worlds both immediate and imaginative. The series of feature and short films, conversations, and other discursive elements are intimations of lived experiences and worlds aspired for in a precarious time of ecological disaster, human rights crises, contested bodies and identities, forgotten rituals and heritage, and overlooked labour.
Through the porous boundaries between ‘self’ and ‘other’, ethical and political questions on how we treat the ‘other’ further emerge within this world-building. How do we examine kinship, care and labour within these stories of worlding? What knowledges can we glean when we encounter different spaces? What does a privileging of the non-human show us? Where do bodies belong to? In a time of great environmental change, how is this lived and felt in this place we call home?
