Art Hub Film Club
Featuring Juan Pablo García Sossa

In the spring of 2023, the Art Hub Film Club was presented by Juan Pablo García Sossa & Laura Kloeckner, who presented a selection of films that all work with the emergence of partially fictional realities as a consequence of the re-appropriation of technology in the tropics.

Titled AROUND SPELLING WORDS & MAGICAL HACKERISM, the film program unfolds as part of Futura Trōpica Netroo’s practice. Futura Trōpica Netroos is a transtropical network of local grassroots networks connecting practitioners, communities and ecologies from Abya Yala (Latin America), the African continent, South Asia and Southeast Asia – places that all meet across the tropical belt.
