LUX Moving Image

Upcoming Exhibition: Asako Ujita: ‘Good Night’ from 18 June to 8 August 2026.

LUX is delighted to present the first solo exhibition by artist and filmmaker Asako Ujita, featuring her new film ‘Good Night’.

‘Good Night’ is a phrase spoken to a child before sleep, and to the dead before parting. Ujita’s film sits in this space where endings and beginnings overlap.

Made during Ujita’s pregnancy with her first son, ‘Good Night’ journeys to southern Taiwan where her great-grandfather had lived during the Japanese occupation. Known to her through a single postcard, he becomes an invisible guide through lakes, forests, caves and country roads.

Holding a tension between the landscape’s beauty and the colonial violence it contains, Ujita surfaces what the land holds and what it refuses to reveal.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a screening event programmed by Emma Bouraba responding to the exhibition. The film will be available with open captions by Carefuffle.

Further details are to be announced via the LUX website.

Online Workshop: Reading and Listening: Media Literacy Lab with Jordan Lord and Tiffany Sia

Date: Sunday 24 May 2026
Time: 2-4pm BST
Online [Zoom]

Led by artists and filmmakers Jordan Lord and Tiffany Sia, this media literacy lab accompanies Lord’s exhibition “Narrative Warfare” and Sia’s film ‘Do Not Circulate’ (2022) and continues an ongoing project developed in Lord’s practice in collaboration with Sia.

The session asks how we might reframe questions of media literacy drawing on questions that have animated their shared work:

- how narratives are constructed, weaponised, and contested across documentary, news media, and state-produced imagery
- what it means to read these forms under conditions in which the production of reality itself is at stake

Starting from the notion that access practices such as audio description and captioning are themselves forms of reading, we will consider how access is both a precondition and means of media literacy.

We will examine how state powers mediate access to audiovisual documents of violence, including those that nation-states produce and circulate as instruments of domination.

- This online workshop is free but registration is required. Link in bio.
- Capacity is limited.

Live captioning and BSL interpretation are available upon request. Please contact [email protected] by Monday 19 May 2026
