Assuming Boycott: Resistance, Agency, and Cultural Production
"Assuming Boycott: Resistance, Agency, and Cultural Production" From art institutions and universities, to cities and entire countries, many have been affected by positions that pose as "withdrawal" or "disengagement" and in fact often result in various actions and pointed engagement around a specific issue or question. This colloquium concludes a year-long cycle of seminars and programs on cultural and academic boycotts as special conditions for discourse and art making, organized by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School starting in spring 2014. Building on the themes and examples discussed in these seminars, the colloquium "Assuming Boycott: Resistance, Agency, and Cultural Production" brings new voices to join previous speakers in articulating a way forward for future boycott movements. Among the confirmed speakers are Joslyn Barnes, Noura Erakat, Kareem Estefan, Patrick Hebert, Maria Lind, Ahmet Ogut, Dread Scott, and Chen Tamir. Free admission.
