What's On and Upcoming:
The Time is Never Ripe : Film Screenings
Join us for a programme of film screenings presented as part of 'The Time is Never Ripe', Raqs Media Collective's solo exhibition, curated by Qamoos Bukhari at the LAMO.
Saturday, 8 August 2026 | 4 - 6 PM
Provisions for Everybody, 2018
Single screen, video, 50 minutes
The film inscribes an eccentric itinerary between Northern England, Eastern India, Myanmar (Burma) and Catalonia.
Raqs pause at Wigan Pier (England) where George Orwell queried the future, at Motihari (his birthplace in Bihar), in Durham investigating coal mining and miners, and in the streets of Barcelona, where he dodged bullets.
A Planet Turns on its Axis Without Permission, 2018
Single screen, video, 18 minutes 4 seconds
A Planet Turns on its Axis Without Permission turns to the Rann of Kutch, where salt stretches between sea and land, dazzling the horizon. The film is a reflection on cycles of erosion and renewal, where earth remembers its transformations.
Saturday, 22 August 2026 | 5 - 6 PM
The Blood of Stars, 2017
Single screen, video, 13 minutes The film invites us to think about the relation between the presence of iron, a fugitive from the stars, sleeping deep inside the earth and the veins of warm-blooded mammals.
Meanwhile, it reads meteorites for clues about the stains at the edge of every sharp blade that cuts into flesh, and registers resonances that ricochet between mining, militarism and the mutations that mark a remote landscape.
Deep Breath, 2019
Film, 25 minutes
A phrase that is inscribed onto the sea floor and then filmed with the help of three divers, sign-posts an interval between the resting place of two shipwrecks; one ancient, another not. Together they might have transported a cargo of all the old and new things that defy memory, had they kept sailing.
All Are Welcome
