Download iCal FileJoin us for a virtual presentation of work in progress by UIC Art History graduate student Sarah M. Ahmed:
The mechanisms of border maintenance in the U.S. and Israel necessitate the erasure of information, the disappearance of individuals, and the displacement of populations. This work-in-progress lecture will explore how dispossessed and dissident artists have used found materials to create new relational possibilities that allow them to resist the mandates of border violence.
CART live captioning will be provided. Please send any questions or additional accommodation requests to wlrc@uic.edu.
