Tuesday at ATA, Antenna Releasing presents the The Weird Kidz "Embrace the Weird" Roadshow featuring post-screening Q&As with director Zach Passero, and special guests like producer Lucky McKee (May, The Woman) and producer Charles Horak. Featuring special pre-show goodies and more!

Three friends, 12-year-old boys Dug, Mel, and Fatt, go camping in the desert with Dug's older brother Wyatt and his girlfriend Mary. When the group stops at a gas station, the owner Duana tells them about The Night Child, a creature she claims lives in the desert and took her younger brother twenty-five years ago. They quickly dismiss the story as an old urban legend, but once they arrive in the desert and set up camp, things get weird.

The hilarious lovechild of Stranger Things and Gravity Falls, it's the perfect gateway genre kids for you, your kids, and the whole damned family!

Deterrence, on view July 24–30 at ATA, is a multimedia exhibition showcasing works by Latine, Chicano, and immigrant artists that critically engage with the United States' official foreign policy and border security strategy known as Prevention Through Deterrence. The exhibition will feature artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, and video, each addressing a distinct facet of this strategy and its consequences. Themes include the expansion of surveillance technologies, the utilization of hostile terrain, the weaponization of resource scarcity, and the emergence of grassroots resistance. Each work will offer a distinct perspective, creating a deeper understanding of the human and political toll shaped by this policy.

This exhibition, curated by Davey Parks and designed by Ani Rogy, will open on July 24, with a reception from 7–10pm at ATA. Deterrence will be on view until July 30.
