Crossing the Space(s) Between Us
In this presentation, Christopher Bratton shared reflections on how we might construct meaningful social relations across multiple registers of difference, drawing from their collaborative experiences in collective media production, arts pedagogies, artistic practice, and performative, social interventions. Discussing recent projects, they also reflected on the changing circumstances of culture in the current neo-liberal and neo-nationalist moment.

History of _rt: Experimental mapping
In this presentation, Gabriel discussed some aspects of the experimental and collaborative project “History of _rt.” How may we radicalize the notion of Art and think differently about its official and unofficial (his)stories? How may we evaluate the limited perspectives of the official “History of Art” taught today, while also imagining alternatives? From mapping the normative to charting otherwise, this talk challenged the complex, relational articulation of art and history.
