Screening of MAKE + Q&A with Director Scott Ogden and Alex Baker

MAKE (Documentary Film, 2011, Dir. Scott Ogden & Malcolm Hearn) – 69 min.

Step inside the extraordinary worlds of four self-taught artists in MAKE — a deeply moving, visually arresting documentary that explores how art can emerge from solitude, struggle, and imagination. Prophet Royal Robertson, Hawkins Bolden, Judith Scott, and Ike Morgan each transform the simplest materials into works of astonishing originality. Through their hands, art becomes a language of survival, devotion, and freedom.

Told in the artists’ own words and through those who knew them best, MAKE offers an intimate, unforgettable portrait of creativity unbound by convention.
