My project CALIFIA AND THE TRESPASSERS (video and text by Quintan Ana Wikswo, music by Andrea Clearfield, voice by Amber Benson) is presented at the World Electroacoustic Listening Room Project (WEALR) at California State University at Fullerton on Saturday, 28 February. CALIFIA was made possible through support of Montalvo Arts, Pew Charitable Trusts, and Creative Capital.
It’s a Los Angeles Times’ Critic’s Pick!
CALIFIA AND THE TRESPASSERS was filmed and created in the California killing fields of Santa Clara County, at the murder site of the Coastal Redwoods, the Ohlone people, and Kathy Bilek, a teenage birdwatcher killed in a serial hate crime in 1971. Since 1472, millions of Native tribes, trees, and teenage girls have come to inhabit California’s legacy of ecological, racist, and misogynistic violence orchestrated by wave upon wave of pioneer ideologues who have struck disproportionately at women and people of color.
