Art-Power and Border Art: A Fireside Chat with Renee Marlin-Bennett

Description

How does art work as a political force? What power does art have to engage the politics of borders?

Renee Marlin-Bennett, a professor of political science, conceptualizes power as control of flows of information (power flow) and art as a special kind of this power. An artist can use this Art-Power to transform the border from a thing that obstructs flow to a zone of connection. Join the Political Science Steering Committee to learn more about Art-Power and its radical implications in an age of increasing border conflict.

As usual, there will be insomnia cookies and hot chocolate.
