[WE DON’T KNOW YET] WHAT A CINEMA CAN DO

// TICKETS @ 🔗 IN BIO

Disintegrating Archives: a night of expanded cinema

Public Works Gallery @publicworksgallery (2141 W. North Ave) | April 10, 2026 - 8:00PM
Doors Open at 7:00PM & Show Starts at 8:00PM

CCAM and Onion City Film Festival (@onioncityfilmfest) present the third annual iteration of
[WE DON’T KNOW YET] WHAT A CINEMA CAN DO, a night of new media live performance with the theme of Disintegrating Archives.

This event explores the resonances of “expanded cinema” today, putting cinematic art to the tasks of resistance, rupture, and reconfiguration of mediatic experience. We ask: how can experimental modes of animating sound and moving images reconfigure the possibility of our relating to one another anew? Re:: mix; vision; mediate; compile; concile; wire; work; enact.

This year WDKY features new works or reworkings by three artists developing distinct technical, aesthetic, and cultural niches: AJ McClennon’s transmedia sound and video work moves through topics of blackness, beauty, personal narrative, and the broad spectrum of femininity (@middlenamejanae). The arts collective Alterotics’ moving-image art, archival research, and event hosting activates public life for trans/queer people (@alterotics ). James Connolly’s real-time sound and media performance activates expressive potentials of technical systems sequestered behind consumer interfaces (@jxconno )

These three artists are also joined by special guest Aria Pedraza, who will introduce the Midwest Rave Culture Archive @midwestraveculturearchive

CCAM + OCFF @onioncityfilmfest present:

AJ MCCLENON this FRIDAY April 10
@middlenamejanae

@publicworksgallery

AJ McClenon’s text, repurposed materials, moving and still images, performance, and sound work is driven by Familial and collective grief, water, Blackness, geomorphology, abolitionist thought, and the global future.

AJ McClenon will present a live sound performance staged within the dimensions of a solitary confinement cell, using acoustic instruments and electronic processing. Incorporating readings from The New Jim Crow, this work will examine how Bill Clinton’s “tough on crime” policies produced one of the largest expansions of the U.S. prison population.

AJ MCCLENON this FRIDAY April 10
@middlenamejanae

@publicworksgallery

AJ McClenon’s text, repurposed materials, moving and still images, performance, and sound work is driven by Familial and collective grief, water, Blackness, geomorphology, abolitionist thought, and the global future.

AJ McClenon will present a live sound performance staged within the dimensions of a solitary confinement cell, using acoustic instruments and electronic processing. Incorporating readings from The New Jim Crow, this work will examine how Bill Clinton’s “tough on crime” policies produced one of the largest expansions of the U.S. prison population.
