Join us on December 7, 6-8 pm in the DARC Microcinema for a special showing of videos from Cold Comfort for a Hot World: Gettin’ Funky in the Bunky.
Funky in the Bunky is a collection of multimedia video works that use archival material from the Diefenbunker and original music by Wind Up Radio.
Wind Up Radio is Sarah Blumel and Anisa Cameron. They create original music and videos about the things that scare them the most: fire, flood, drought, famine, sentient AI, the breakdown of civilization, aliens, the rich abandoning the Earth for Mars, the future.
“Since April 2023, we’ve been exploring what it means to be prepared for an uncertain future in the face of climate change and global economic collapse by connecting to Cold War preparedness at the Diefenbunker. This summer, with the help of an Expanded Practice Residency at DARC, we put the final touches on sound and video work now on display at the Diefenbunker Museum until February 4, 2024.”
Anisa Cameron is a Montréal-based theatre practitioner and real showstopper who is feeling like her “Live, Laugh, Love” days may be numbered thanks to the threat of global economic and environmental collapse. Sarah Blumel is a queer, Ottawa-based multimedia artist making music and video art to quiet the ring of impending doom.
