The forum and the indigenous art movement yəhaw̓ will present a screening of Ciro Guerra (Birds of Passage)'s astounding Embrace of the Serpent, which upends the "white man discovering the jungle" narrative by focusing on the shaman who guides him. Based on a true story, Embrace follows Karamakate, an indigenous man who encounters two white scientists 40 years apart, both searching for a powerful psychedelic plant. Trippy, awe-inspiringly gorgeous, and elegiac, Guerra's film casts a fierce gaze on the arrogance of white colonialism and the damages it wreaks. The film starts at 7:30; show up early to shop an Indigenous art market. by Joule Zelman
