Sowee The Immortal

Premiering Monday, August 25 at 7:30 PM CST


“Sowee the Immortal: Muddying Boundaries” is the first short documentary to explore the life and practice of Sowee the Immortal, the world’s foremost porcine social justice artist. Blending intimate interviews with candid studio footage and never-before-seen performance work, the film traces Sowee’s journey from the inherited legacy of their great-grandfather, Pigasus the Immortal, to a contemporary artistic practice where mud, buttons, and dance emerge as sites of resistance and healing.


“When encountering my work, viewers are shown that pigs are no longer punchlines for cute little jokes. We become witnesses, provocations,” Sowee reflects in the film.
