Film Screening: Journey of Hope – The Art of Oscar Molina
SUNDAY, JULY 12, 2026 | 6 PM - 8 PM
Join us at the Southampton Arts Center for a special screening of Journey of Hope – The Art of Oscar Molina, a 45-minute documentary directed and produced by Lana Jokel.
The film offers an intimate look into the life and work of artist J. Oscar Molina, whose practice explores the intersections of politics, culture, and identity. Having immigrated to the United States from El Salvador, Molina views borders not as fixed realities, but as constructs—ideas that can be challenged, reimagined, and transcended through art.
Through painting and sculpture, Molina creates visual “bridges” that connect communities across cultural divides. His work invites viewers to reflect on their own perspectives while opening space for dialogue about shared histories, traditions, and the evolving nature of identity.
Presented as both a documentary and a catalyst for conversation, Journey of Hope highlights art as a powerful form of social practice—one that fosters understanding, exchange, and community connection.
A reception will follow the screening, offering guests the opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with fellow attendees.
