Trailer: Two Refusals (Would We Recognize Ourselves Unbroken?)
Would we recognize ourselves unbroken?
Shot on 16 mm film in India and Portugal, “Two Refusals (Would We Recognize Ourselves Unbroken?)” is a new two-channel video created by Suneil Sanzgiri. It reimagines histories of transnational solidarity and interventions against the Portuguese empire. Combining original interviews and a script written by poet Sham-e-Ali Nayeem with CGI animation, altered archival footage, and excerpts from anti-colonial cinema, Sanzgiri recounts stories of resistance and their ongoing relationship to the present. The film’s score was composed by Amirtha Kidambi and Booker Stardrum.
View the full film as part of Suneil Sanzgiri: Here the Earth Grows Gold through May 5, 2024.

Baño Sagrado (Rite of Initiation, Sacred Bath), 1991
“My hands are the only territory I know.” 🤲
Baño Sagrado (Rite of Initiation, Sacred Bath), excerpted here, is an early collaboration with Neil Leonard in which Campos-Pons interprets Yoruba-derived rituals of cleansing and explores the energies of Yemayá and Oshun in her body and life, drawing on African proverbs surrounding challenges of exile, immigration, and interracial love.
In this scene from the 31-minute single-channel video, the artist cups water in her hand, which acts as a screen showing shimmering waters in Baracoa, where three ships of armed Spanish settlers first landed in Cuba in 1492, beginning their genocide of Indigenous people and campaign of colonial violence.
See the film in #BeholdBkM currently on view on the fourth floor through January 14, 2024.
🎥 Video by María Magdalena Campos-Pons (born Matanzas, Cuba, 1959) with sound by Neil Leonard (born Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1959). Still from Baño Sagrado (Rite of Initiation, Sacred Bath), 1991. Single-channel video transferred from Super 8 film (color, sound): 31 min., 37 sec.; sound: composition for alto saxophone, bells, clay flute.
