Winona based artist Sharon Mansur and her creative platform The Cedar Tree Project are engaged in several special events at the upcoming Frozen River Film Festival.

The film set Blurring Borders: Cinema & Home will be shown on Saturday, February 10 at the Winona Arts Center. Co-curated by Mizna’s Arab Film Festival curator Michelle Baroody and Sharon Mansur, and showcasing Arab and SWANA (Southwest Asian and North African) artists and filmmakers, this set of short films challenges documentary form as well as common narratives/images of immigration and displacement. The set includes NeitherHEREnorTHERE, a choreo-essay film between Lebanese American artists Sharon Mansur and Meryl Zaytoun Murman. The workshop Home/Place will take place on Sunday, February 11 at Winona State University. A companion to the Blurring Borders film set, this workshop facilitated by Sharon Mansur invites participants to engage in a creative process to develop a short film study reflecting their sense of home, place and belonging as well as scattering and letting go. Learn more.
