Worlding: Visual Cultures and the Political
During the 2017-2018 academic year, the CVC is hosting a series of lectures, workshops, and discussions under the umbrella theme of “Worlding: Visual Cultures and the Political.” These events will analyze the visual construction and normalization of the society we live in by studying issues ranging from racial history, immigration and social justice to the understanding of our inner worlds.
