About this event

Join us for a community preview and post-screening workshop of  a new documentary "Gónô Tmutul: Building a House of Stories"

Synopsis

Shot in April 2023, the 35-minute film documents the extraordinary story of a return. After 45 years, an English woman goes back to a people and place that has meant the world to her. With the help of two academic/curators, she embarks on a mission to give back a remarkable assortment of exquisite objects, photographs, and sound recordings to the Tbolis of Lake Sebu.

Their journey points to a model for repatriating material cultures to source communities, where now, the belongings are cherished in heartbreakingly profound ways.
