✧Zeynep Abes (@zabes93) is an artist, researcher and educator from Istanbul, Turkey. She studied film and interactive media at Emerson College, later getting her start at LACMA’s Art+Tech lab.

Join LACE for a special screening of Marnie Weber’s film “Song of the Sea Witch” (2020), alongside the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, “House of the Whispering Rose” (2025). “Song of the Sea Witch” captures a mysterious Sea Witch who lives in isolation at a cabin on the edge of the ocean. Her solitude is broken when one day a group of raucous birds appear on the Sea Witch’s beach. Their presence threatens to take over her peaceful existence.

Join us Thursday, November 13 from 7-9 PM at the Philosophical Research Society (@philosophical_research_society). Following the screening, LACE’s Curator and Director of Programs Selene Preciado (@selene__preciado) speaks with Marnie Weber (@marnieweberstudio) to learn more about the making of the films and her collaborations.

“A Tender Excavation” approaches research-base “A Tender Excavation” approaches research-based artistic practices through propositions of alternative histories, bringing together a group of artists who work with historical and familial photographic archives as a point of departure to construct new narratives and elicit transformation.

LACE is thrilled to introduce three of the artists featured in the exhibition...

They approach the gaze of ethnography by authoring the personal into the world through experimental documentary.

She received a MA in performance studies from Northwestern University in 2016 and a MFA in visual arts from the University of California, San Diego in 2015.
