MARATHON SCREENINGS is a salon-style film and video series featuring works by international artists that address the construction of identity and the politics of memory in a shifting geopolitical landscape. Connecting themes of migration, nationhood, and bicultural living across geographic and cultural boundaries, the works challenge existing narratives and create connections in an increasingly polarized world. With a focus on critical dialogue, the series creates welcoming, accessible programs where short, conceptual videos and feature-length experimental documentaries are presented alongside a shared meal.

To date the series has been hosted by various individuals and organizations, including non-profit art spaces, institutes, universities, private homes, and city parks. Collaborating and always adapting, each screening uniquely reflects the work being shown and the environment in which it is presented. Screenings are always free and all are welcome.

Since 2017 she has produced Marathon Screenings alongside exhibitions and projects in collaboration with: Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; JOAN Los Angeles; 18th Street Arts Center; Active Cultures; Villa Aurora & Thomas Mann House; Oregon Contemporary; and e-flux, amongst many others. She has worked for a range of organisations including Project X Foundation, Los Angeles; The Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles; The Photographers’ Gallery, London, UK; and PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art, Montreal (formerly DHC/ART), amongst others.
