On April 13, scholar and artist Denise Ferreira da Silva (New York University) visited Princeton for a screening of Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims (2023). The award-winning film, from Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman, follows the wind from the Sahara to the Amazon and along the Pacific coast, tracing stories of migration and displacement and reflecting on the history of neoliberalism.
Following the screening, Ferreira da Silva was joined by Rachel Price (Spanish and Portuguese) for a conversation about the work.
The event was hosted by the Gauss Seminars in Criticism and supported through a collaboration between the Humanities Council and the Princeton Humanities Initiative. It was co-sponsored by the Program in Media + Modernity and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
