Set in an empty hospital in Kolkata, the film follows a man facing protocols of blood, a subtly discriminatory office, and a vacant operating theater.During his<a href="https://lunderinstitute.colby.edu/explore-our-work/fall-2020/senior-fellows/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Lunder Institute for American Art Senior Research Fellowship</a>, Mohaiemen learned of the state of Maine’s 2019 Death with Dignity Act. He contacted Karen Wentworth (1956 - 2023), the second person in the state to legally secure medicine for a dignified end of life process. In 2018, Karen received a terminal cancer diagnosis, which she approached with a seeker’s curiosity. A reflection on Karen's life and the acceptance of the body's decline, the film Grace (2022) documents Naeem and Grace's collaboration – meetings, correspondence, conversations, and their friendship. On January 12th, 2023, Karen said goodbye at a time of her choosing. A banyan sapling was planted in her memory at the Satyajit Ray Film &amp; Television Institute in Kolkata.Speaker<a href="https://globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/faculty-visitorship#single_image-54694" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Naeem Mohaiemen</a>, Associate Professor of Visual Arts and Head of the Photography Concentration at the Department of Visual Arts, Columbia University, is a filmmaker and writer who combines films, photography, drawings, and essays to research forms of utopia-dystopia slippage (families, borders, architecture, and uprisings) in the Muslim World after 1945.VenueFor nearly 60 years, Columbia University students and faculty have come to study, teach, and pursue their research at<a href="https://reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Reid Hall</a>, home to<a href="https://globalcenters.columbia.edu/paris" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Columbia Global Centers | Paris</a>.
