Matinee Movie—Ruth Asawa: Of Forms and Growth

Join us for a mantiee screening of Ruth Asawa: Of Forms and Growth in celebration of the renowned Black Mountain College, multimedia artist.

ABOUT THE FILM:

Ruth Asawa: Of Forms and Growth is an intimate look at San Francisco artist Ruth Asawa—mother, teacher, woman of the earth. With the intensity and sensitivity that pervades her life, we experience her humanness, and her views on art, growth and life itself.

“If you plant a seed in the ground, the seed doesn’t say, ‘Well, in eight hours I’m going to stop growing.’ You put it in the soil, and that bulb grows every second that it’s attached to the earth. That’s why I think that every minute that we’re attached to the earth, we should be doing something” —Ruth Asawa.

Runtime: 26 minutes (continuous screening 1–5pm).
