Unseen Territories Premiere

Shahab Zargari

Unseen Territories Premiere

Named after the art project it documents, Unseen Territories is a 25-minute short film that not only honors 14 local Black, Indiginous, and People of Color artists, highlighting their heritages and acts of visibility.

Each artist is interviewed in the film, and each talks about making their own flag that showcases identity and/or declarations — some declarations for something, like cultural reclamation, and some against, such as colonialism. The defining imagery of the movie is their trip in cars on the streets of Downtown Las Vegas, waving their flags and often smiling and whooping it up, giving onlookers this unexpected caravan of resistance and joy.

Sydney Galindo directs the film, which is shot by local videographer/record label owner Shahab Zargari. The original score is by Alexander Pijuan-Galindo

The premiere of the short documentary film (25-min) Unseen Territories at the Nuwu Art Gallery + Community Center. It's a free community art project led by Southern Nevada Conservancy. Refreshments are sponsored by IndigenousAF (IAF Inc.).
