Squeaky Wheel invites you to the second episode of Bit Depth, a new critical Squeaky variety show and event series! In Episode 2, Songs and Justice, we’ll be focusing on revolutionary figures, from Buffalo and beyond, whose impact has been felt in our community and across the world. The event will feature a screening of Frame-up! The Imprisonment of Martin Sostre (1974); a conversation with Geraldine Robinson, James Coughlin, and Brandon Schlia from the Justice for Geraldine and Martin Campaign; and a screening of John Akomfrah’s Seven Songs for Malcolm X (1995), introduced by Donte McFadden. All of this will be accompanied by a delicious spread (including vegan and gluten free options) by celebrated chef Kevin Thurston. Join us!

Bit Depth is Squeaky’s take on the Buffalo arts variety show. Each “episode” will feature a mix of films, artists, hackers, magicians, scientists, performances, mini-workshops, scholars and more, accompanied by a special spread of food by local celebrity chefs. Inspired in equal part by events such as Just Buffalo’s Big Night, Hallwalls’ Art+Science Cabaret, and Arika’s Episodes, Bit Depth are one-of-a-kind evenings featuring luminaries and rarities from around the world in critical and joyous engagement with media art in all that it can entail.
