aemi & Project Arts Centre present: The Early Works of Cheryl Dunye, selected and presented by Renèe Helèna Browne https://aemi.ie/event/cheryl-dunye-re... Saturday 4th February 2023, 6.30pm The Cube Space, Project Arts Centre, Dublin This event is the first screening in Ireland of the early works of Cheryl Dunye, the director of the seminal 'The Watermelon Woman' and innovator of a new form of cinema about Black lesbian life. Selected and presented in-person by artist Renèe Helèna Browne as part of 'Rebuilding Urania (2021-ongoing)'. Cheryl Dunye’s short films feature the use of mixed media, a blurring of fact and fiction, and explored issues relating to Dunye’s experience as a black lesbian filmmaker. They are early examples of “Dunyementaries,” a blend of narrative and documentary techniques that Dunye describes as “a mix of film, video, friends, and a lot of heart.” Made with a feeling of spontaneity, creativity and a direct-to-camera candour rarely encountered on screen, these films represent the important first chapter of the deeply influential Cheryl Dunye filmography. “Dunye’s delightful early short films – her ‘Dunyementaries’ – fuse humour, intelligence and drama in the world of urban, young black lesbians as they make their way through the murky waters of love, friendship and dating.” – OutFest Los Angeles A long-term, multi-platform project, Rebuilding Urania (2021-ongoing) began with Renèe Helèna Browne’s research into Urania, a historic printed journal that focused on gender. Urania was privately distributed and published in London from 1916 – 1940. Featuring re-printed articles from newspapers around the world, editorial commentary, poetry and prose, it provided readers with an alternative scientific and cultural basis of expression on androgyny and love. Rebuilding Urania is an oral archiving project of Urania, and takes the form of multiple episodes with public presentations across radio, gallery and online contexts. The development of the project has involved Browne connecting with invited people to respond to articles from the original journal and in doing so manifested a new network, brought together through a shared interest in the work of revisiting the original journal. Different stages of Browne’s research and the development of this work have been supported by a number of organisations: Rebuilding Urania: Pilot (2021), produced with Mason Leaver-Yap, was co-commissioned by Dublin Digital Radio’s Alternating Currents Festival (2021) and Book Works UK for the Happy Hypocrite radio show on Resonance FM, Sep 2021. Rebuilding Urania: Episode One premiered at TULCA Festival of Visual Arts, Galway in November 2021 curated by Eoin Dara. A Strange Eight, the project’s third and most recent episode, consisted of an exhibition of audio contributions and drawings by Browne at the Centre for Contemporary Art Glasgow in 2022. Rebuilding Urania (2021-ongoing) was originally commissioned by the Project Art Centre, Dublin.
