Wednesday, April 23 to Monday, May 12: “Fogbound” by Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui at the Harold Stevens Gallery


Gallery hours: Mondays noon to 3 pm; Wednesdays 2 to 4 pm; Thursdays 1 to 5 pm; Fridays 11 am to 2 pm; Saturdays 11 am to 1 pm; or by appointment. Free to all!


The Harold Stevens Gallery is inside WCUW, 910 Main Street, Worcester, MA.

Wednesday, April 23 to Monday, May 12: “Fogbound” by Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui at the Harold Stevens Gallery


“Fogbound” by Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui

Photographer, filmmaker, and visual artist Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui presents Fogbound at the Harold Stevens Gallery, April 23 to May 12.


Fogbound is a series of photographs that were created as a meditative exercise, illuminating Pradhan Wong Ah Sui’s morphing spiritual connection to Sikkim, India upon returning home six years after their departure as a teenager. Fogbound was initially conceived of as a photo essay, for which they were awarded the Steinbrecher Fellowship. As the project evolved, the photographs became a way to elicit what they could not put into words, prioritizing emotion over understanding.

Thursday, May 1: Cinema Worcester at the Frontroom Presents “Meanwhile”


“‘Meanwhile’…feels like both a provocation and a request to consider what flourishing looks like in this chaotic moment — for Black Americans, and for anyone who finds themselves drowning, struggling to breathe.”

“…the movie suggests freedom is something you can experience while also working toward freedom’s creation. Artists know that for sure — ‘Meanwhile’ aims to make it clear to everyone.” “…this is, indeed, poetry.” – New York Times


Run time is 1 hour 28 minutes. NR.

Showtimes: Thursday, May 1, 7 pm.

Tickets $13.58 general admission, $11.44 senior/student with ID, $10.38 for WCUW members (processing fees included). Purchase tickets online.


The WCUW Frontroom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester MA.

Thursday, May 1: Cinema Worcester at the Frontroom Presents “Meanwhile”


Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW Frontroom presents “Meanwhile”, a film by Catherine Gund, Jacqueline Woodson, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Erika Dilday.

Meanwhile is a docu-poem in six verses about artists breathing through chaos. In dynamic collaboration, Jacqueline Woodson (text), Meshell Ndegeocello (soundscape), Erika Dilday (support), M. Trevino (structure), and Catherine Gund (direction), combine artists’ expressions with historical and observational footage to unveil a rare cinematic mediation about identity, race, racism and resistance as they shape our shared breath.


Centering breath as a symbol of resilience, Meanwhile captures raw, unfinished moments–dancers in rehearsal, artists midway through their work–focusing on the act of creation. Rooted in the upheavals of 2020, the film uses breath as its through-line to symbolize collective survival. It invites viewers to witness the process of liberation and be present in the “meanwhile”–a moment of creation, struggle, and hope that transcends fixed identities.
