Slash’s exhibition Sonic Transmissions (January 10 – April 18, 2026) explores and highlights the sonic aspects of Sky Hopinka’s artistic practice. On April 4th, join Hopinka and Sonic Transmissions curator Gina Basso for a celebratory gathering as they head into the exhibition’s final weeks. With Hopinka as special guest, we’ll take a deeper dive into his creative world through a three-part event that explores his approaches to sound in his video and writing practices.

The event opens with a reading by Hopinka, followed by a 16mm film screening that puts his film Kicking the Clouds (2021) into dialogue with two short films selected by the artist from the Canyon Cinema catalog: Secondary Currents by Peter Rose and Wayward Fronds by Fern Silva. The evening concludes with a short conversation between Basso and Hopinka and an audience Q&A.

This event follows a daytime screening of the feature-length film Powwow People, directed by Sky Hopinka and introduced by the artist, at the Roxie Theater. Learn more about this event and get your tickets here.
