CUE is pleased to announce an upcoming series, NIGHT SCHOOL with Kameelah Janan Rasheed. December 18, 2020 @ 6pm ET January 15, 2021 @ 6pm ET January 29, 2021 @ 6pm ET... FREE with RSVP NIGHT SCHOOL invites the public for three evenings of learning with Kameelah Janan Rasheed. Inspired by Octavia Butler’s notion of primitive hypertext, or nurturing intimacy between seemingly disparate ideas, each evening begins with a short lecture interspersed with brief activities. After the lecture, learners engage in a series of gestures to create a collaborative object. Students who attend two of the three sessions will receive a limited edition publication printed by Rasheed after the series concludes. The classes are loosely organized around information culture and what Erik Davis in TechGnosis: myth, magic and mysticism in the age of information (1998/2004) calls the technologies of perception and communication. Workshop 1: December 18, 2020 @ 6pm ET Nonhuman Countersurveillance - Vibrating Hawk Moth Genitalia and Whispering Cotton-Top Tamarin Monkeys Workshop 2: January 15, 2021 @ 6pm ET Collaborative Writing - Algorithmic Text Generation, Ouiji Boards, and Distributed Authorship Workshop 3: January 29, 2021 @ 6pm ET Approximation - Deepfakes, Archeological Forgeries, and Magical Potions RSVP via the link in bio for the Zoom links! All events will be live-captioned. If you have additional access questions or needs for the event, please contact [email protected] and we will do our best to accommodate you.
