Exploring the intersection of Blackness and geological time, Cauleen Smith’s film The Deep West Assembly (2024) debuts at her Astrup Fearnley Museum solo show in Oslo. In the film, the American artist juxtaposes imagery of geological formations and human-made landforms with narration drawn from various texts, including her Volcano Manifesto (2022), to articulate the deep time of the Mississippi River Delta. A video installation, textile banner series, and reading room round out the exhibition.
