The Squeaky Wheel will screen The Last Angel of History (John Akomfrah, U.K. / Germany 1996, 45 min.), and Mia' (Bracken Hanuse Corlett, Amanda Strong, Canada 2015, 8 min.) along with a live video performance by Dana McKnight.

Squeaky Wheel presents an evening of films and a live skype performance featuring John Akomfrah's 1996 film The Last Angel of History. Examining the relationships between Pan-African culture, science fiction, intergalactic travel, and rapidly progressing computer technology, the film is preceded by a new, live science-fiction Skype performance by artist Dana McKnight, followed by Amanda Strong's Mia' (2015), a stop-motion animated film of a young Indigenous female street artist who has found her own ways to root herself to the supernatural history of her Wuikinuxv ancestry. Together, the works align to form a constellation of times and spaces outside of colonial thought.
