To mark the final day of the exhibition Homage: Queer lineages on video, join us for a special screening of works by Luke Fowler (b. 1978) and Derek Jarman (1942-1994). Fowler's recent film Being Blue (2025), shot during a residency at Prospect Cottage—Jarman's final home—will be shown along with two recently restored and digitized Super 8 films by Jarman, Studio Bankside (1971-1972) and Sloane Square (1976). The screenings will be followed by a conversation between Luke Fowler and the exhibition curator, Rattanamol Singh Johal.

Luke Fowler’s practice is multimedia in its perception and outcome, with analogue filmmaking at the core. ‘Filmmaking for me is very much a social process’ he says, stressing the importance of collaboration with other artists, musicians and writers. His work investigates the social rules, conventions and disciplinary practices that underpin mainstream society, serving to marginalise a minority to living on its edges. He unflinchingly observes its viscous undercurrents to bring to the surface awkward and unresolved complexities at its crux.
Rattanamol Singh Johal is an art historian and curator who holds the Shireen and Afzal Ahmad Professorship at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, as Assistant Professor in History of Art. Most recently, he co-convened the Experimenter Curators' Hub in Kolkata, curated Homage: Queer Lineages on Video at the Wallach Art Gallery, and co-curated Video After Video: The Critical Media of CAMP at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Johal earned a Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia University and has held fellowships at the Whitney Independent Study Program and Tate Research Centre: Asia.
