When eight-year-old Shula turns up alone and unannounced in a rural Zambian village, the locals are suspicious. A minor incident escalates to a full-blown witch trial, where she is found guilty and sentenced to life on a state-run witch camp. There, she is tethered to a long white ribbon and told that if she ever tries to run away, she will be transformed into a goat. As the days pass, Shula begins to settle into her new community, but a threat looms on the horizon. Soon she is forced to make a difficult decision—whether to resign herself to life on the camp or take a chance on freedom.

Why Cultural Humility? Workshop
2018-11-17 09:00 - 12:00 | Artisan Church, 1235 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, United States
Cultural humility is a framework for supporting lifelong learning and reflection with the goal of influencing and addressing structural inequalities. Through interactive exercises, this workshop will introduce and support understanding of a process-oriented mindset in relation to other cultures. Developed by a diverse group of health care providers during the 1990s, Cultural Humility is a discipline of seeking to understand in the spirit of inquiry and acceptance rather than from a sense of embarrassment or shame in relation to gaps in understanding. Cultural Humility perspectives seek to address issues related to unconscious bias and other perceptual and habitual challenges.

Kusama: Infinity screening
2018-11-17 15:00 - 16:16 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Kusama: Infinity (Heather Lenz, U.S. 2018, 76 min.) followed by videoconference discussion with director Heather Lenz as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
Now the top-selling female artist in the world, Yayoi Kusama overcame impossible odds to bring her radical artistic vision to the world stage. For decades, her work pushed boundaries that often alienated her from both her peers and those in power in the art world. Kusama was an underdog with everything stacked against her: the trauma of growing up in Japan during World War II, life in a dysfunctional family that discouraged her creative ambitions, sexism and racism in the art establishment, mental illness in a culture where that was particularly shameful and even continuing to pursue and be devoted to her art full time on the cusp of her 90s. In spite of it all, Kusama has endured and has created a legacy of artwork that spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation art, performance art, poetry and literary fiction. After working as an artist for over six decades, people around the globe are experiencing her installation Infinity Mirrored Rooms in record numbers, as Kusama continues to create new work every day.

However, as his art developed and his love of gardening led to the glories of his Giverny garden, his humor, insight, and love of life are revealed. Told through Monet's own words and shot on location at the very spots he painted, the film features his most loved paintings in an unforgettable, immersive art experience.
