What is the impact of emerging digital borders on the lives, work, and practices of artists? What are the hurdles artists face when transgressing digital borders in response to national borders?
This salon, organized by the Anti-Customs Enforcement (ACE) Collective as a part of their CultureHub Residency, explores these questions with panelists, participatory discussions, and workshop sessions. We’ll discuss how to overcome these hurdles, speculatively and specifically, but also how to open up new platforms for collaboration and create meaningful allyship.
The panel will be followed by a long-table conversation, addressing the panel as well as the excerpts of the Digital Borders Manifesto, which is informed by in-depth interviews with international artists and their experience of navigating (digital)borders within their practice.
Panelists include Shaka McGlotten (Artist and Professor of Media Studies, State University of New York), Bassem Saad (Artist and Writer, Beirut) and Carolyn Kirschner (Researcher, Architect and Designer, Parsons School of Design, New York).
This event is free and open to the public. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
