Naeem Mohaiemen: Through a Mirror, Darkly
About this event
John Hansard Gallery is delighted to present Naeem Mohaiemen’s new three-channel film THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY. Commissioned by Artangel, in partnership with Film Video Umbrella and Wexner Center for the Arts, the film examines the turbulent 1970s. It focuses on American students in Ohio and Mississippi protesting overseas wars and domestic racism, who were met by lethal state violence over ten days in May 1970.

The deaths of students Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder at Kent State University, Ohio, became the subject of national outrage. Lost in the media focus were Phillip Lafayette Gibbs and James Earl Green, the two students killed ten days later by police officers at Jackson State, Mississippi – a historically Black college. Mohaiemen’s inquiry into this racialised disparity of remembering sparked the creation of this film. Alongside, Mohaiemen has created two new series of works specifically for John H
