KINOMUZEUM invites you to a Nécessité light concert by Stefan Węgłowski, a screening of the film Endless (dir. Wojciech Puś), and a conversation with film director conducted by Alpesh Kantilal Patel, in which Magdalena Wawrzyńczak, Pat Dudek, Stefan Węgłowski i Jorge Benavideswill take part. The conversation will be in English.

Dr. Alpesh Kantilal Patel’s (they/he) art historical scholarship, curation, and criticism reflect their queer, anti-racist, and transnational approach to contemporary art. An associate professor of global contemporary art at Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, USA, he is the author of Multiple and one: writing queer global art histories, forthcoming from Manchester University Press. They have written essays positioning east Europe in a queer, transcultural landscape, such as those in the anthologies Globalizing East European Art Histories: Past and Present and The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art History, and art criticism for Artforum, Art in America, and Hyperallergic. He met the filmmaker Wojciech Puś in 2015 while on a Fulbright scholarship in Poland, including spending some time on location in Lanckorona, where Puś was filming.
