Alphabet Soup Screening & Panel

ExTV presents: Alphabet Soup. LBGT, LGBTQIA+, Queer, deviant; the community uses lots of terms to describe themselves. This screening is for video work that centers around the LGBTQIA+ experience. This screening is in collaboration with the LGBTQ Intergenerational Dialogue Project, organized by The Senior Services Program at The Center on Halsted and SAIC faculty members Adam Greteman and Karen Morris. This project brings together LGBTQ-identified students and elders, providing a rare opportunity for dialogue across queer generations. After the digital screening we’ll hold a panel of elders and student artists. 

Call for Submissions: PolyPlay 2021

In the past, we have exhibited computer-operated games, along with performances, interactive sculptures, experimental art games/objects, 3D animations, virtual reality works, etc. As we move to an online only format for this year’s event, we encourage submissions that innovatively approach the creative restrictions that past year has presented. PolyPlay 2021 hopes to be a creative space for digital escapism, enjoyment, and solace in these times. Click for submission info!

ExTV Presents: Monthly Student Artist Spotlight (November/December)

We’d like to introduce the second participant in our new monthly program that highlights the work of a student artist every month and seeks to create a larger conversation and sense of community through featuring their work/practice. This program has three components: an online program of a selection of the artist’s works (accessible above), a highlighted presence of the artist across ExTV’s social media, and a live conversation/ Q&A with the artist to round off the month. This month’s artist will be featured until the end of the Fall semester.

Join us on Zoom on December 10th from 4:30-5:30 CST for our conversation with Zoe about her practice.
