Meanwhile: A Film Screening by Catherine Gund
Still from the film Meanwhile (2024), directed by Catherine Gund (2025 Resident)
Meanwhile (2024) is a docu-poem in six verses about artists breathing through chaos. In dynamic collaboration, Jacqueline Woodson (text), Meshell Ndegeocello (soundscape), Erika Dilday (support), M. Trevino (structure), and Catherine Gund (direction) combine artists’ expressions with historical and observational footage to unveil a rare cinematic mediation about identity, race, racism, and resistance as they shape our shared breath.
The film lasts 88 minutes.
Following the screening, Catherine Gund (2025 Resident) will be in conversation with Johanne Affricot, the Academy’s Curator-at-Large.
The event will be held in English.
