Fou Gallery is delighted to host the Art21's latest season of Screening Society, a program that welcomes local communities to gather and watch films about art. By providing free access to documentary films about contemporary artists, Screening Society promotes conversation, inspires creative thinking, and broadens engagement with contemporary art. In celebration of Art21's newest book, Artists & the Unknown: Art21 Interviews with Artists, this season of Screening Society provides a selection of films featuring artists who explore how we use randomness, mystery, and unknowability to try to answer some of life’s biggest questions. The event is made possible with generous support from our community partners Accent Sisters, with free drink provided by Teasthetic.
