A performative screen-sharing talk about collaboration and improvisation through filmmaking. Wu Tsang is a visual artist and film/theater director, whose works explore hidden histories and marginalized narratives through hybrid documentary-fiction forms. Her projects have been presented at museums, biennials, and film festivals internationally and she has won numerous awards including the 2018 MacArthur 'Genius' Grant. 

The Forum is an 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?

Please bring your ideas, proposals, questions to discuss following the talk.
