A screening of File No. 2304, a short film by Alison Kobayashi, followed by an in-depth presentation on her multidisciplinary project Electric Neon Clock. The program will include a walkthrough of her archival research process, as well as an excerpt from the performance currently in development. Electric Neon Clock draws from Kobayashi’s family’s WWII-era Custodial File (No. 2304) to examine their forced dispossession and relocation from their home in Steveston, BC, to Manitoba sugar beet farms, and eventually to Toronto.
