40 minute talk followed by 30 minutes of public debate broadcast at thelab.org

The Forum is a bi-weekly experiment in creating discourse within the context of isolation. Art creates a space for reconsidering our knowledge across various social and professional fields. It asks us: Why do we perceive things the way we do? What are we living for? How can we reimagine our relationships to the human and non-human world? The Forum proposes that the project of freedom is a project of making a world with others. So, we invite you to help us answer: what can we do now?

Artist and writer Hannah Black will give an informal overview of some of the solidarity projects aiming to deal with the pandemic crisis, primarily tenant organizing and mutual aid. She will attempt to draw some connections between the different efforts and make some general comments on the possible horizons and tendencies emerging from the current situation, based on conversations with organizers around the US. 

This public debate will be followed by a survey of attendees requesting feedback on the current topic and suggestions for topics / speakers at our next forum.

Please join us. 

Hosted with Wolfman Books, Pro Arts, and Performance Space New York.
