Join us for the first听Colloquium听on Critical Media Practice. Through workshops, screenings, presentations听and panel discussions, this colloquium will investigate the increasing overlap between art, engagement听and nonfiction in the current technological landscape.听
Internationally renowned media practitioner and theorist听Trinh T. Minh-ha听will present her latest film and speak on her research and practice. Trinh鈥檚 work addresses gender politics as related to culture, post-coloniality, contemporary critical theory and the arts.听
MTL Collective听(Nitasha Dhillon and Amin Husain) are artist/activists who engage with contemporary issues across platforms, joining research, aesthetics听and activism in media arts practice.听
MTL will present their creative work and lead a student/faculty workshop on听Interactive Cultural Landscapes. Working with images, videos听and sounds generated by CU students from the Department of Critical Media Practices and the Department of Art and Art History, workshop participants will learn how to construct web-based interactive image collages to explore cultures of Colorado鈥檚 front range, using photography, video听and sound.
