3. Screening of For Jackson: A Time Capsule 2pm February 25 at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, 1040 Moss St. A collaboration between the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, MediaNet and the BC Black History Awareness Society, in honour of Black History Month For Jackson: A Time Capsule is a documentary portrait of two Canadian women, Rosemary Brown (1930-2003) BC’s first black MLA, and Ruth Horricks-Sujir (b. 1925) who as a young woman moved to India. The film creates a time capsule for their young grandson, Leila’s nephew Jackson, who is a hip hop artist living in Vancouver. By moving viewers through the geographies and journeys of these women’s lives, Sujir uses landscapes as points of arrival and departure, and oceans as streams of stories. Leila Sujir is a media artist working in video and 3D technologies who teaches at Concordia University. Leila and Jackson will be present at the screening to answer questions about the film, and Jackson will perform a short piece. 4.
