Scoring to Remember with Laura Ortman & Razelle Benally
03.12.2025
6:00 pm–8:00 pm
How is sonic storytelling a strategy for subverting oppressive forces? From testimonies to protest songs and collective noise-making, sonic tactics are integral to political action. Join musician Laura Ortman and filmmaker Razelle Benally as they discuss field recordings, expressing community narratives through sound, and the interwoven connections between musical and visual storytelling – with a musical outro performed by Ortman. The artists will screen a video collage and reflect on their collaboration for Benally’s documentary series Murder in Big Horn, in addition to a number of other experimental collaborative projects such as STTLMNT, Red Brigade Films, and more. Ortman and Benally’s works have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art, Sundance Film Festival, and the MCA Chicago. Snacks will be provided by Buffalo Jump.
Scoring to Remember is programmed by Shirine Saad, and organized by Creative Time.
