2023-2024 Theme:
“Labor and Resistance”
Over the course of the academic year, we will consider both the visual culture of labor and the labor of visual culture. We define labor broadly to include recognized and unrecognized participation in the work force alongside informal economies, as well as creative and affective labor. As part of this theme, we also propose to think about precarity and the refusal of labor in the form of strikes, anti-work movements and other forms of resistance to the logic of capital.
Please join us!
The CVC has a video archive available upon request.
