Miller’s travels across the Great Plain region take him from areas devastated during the 1970 multi-vortex tornado in Lubbock, Texas, to a TWISTER-themed museum exhibit in the small town of Wakita, Oklahoma, and a myriad of impacted sites along the way. Through encounters with amateur meteorologists, local historians, elected officials, and storm-shelter salesmen, Miller subtly interrogates what it means to make images in the eye of the storm and how those images live on in collective memory for years after.This program will be introduced by Robin Tanamachi, atmospheric scientist who specializes in radar-based studies of severe storms and tornadoes, storm chaser, and Associate Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University.Following the screening, filmmaker Curtis Miller (Lecturer in Art, Theory, Practice at Northwestern University), will participate in a Q&amp;A with the audience.About the guest speakers:Curtis Miller is a filmmaker and artist based in Chicago, IL.
