Artist, filmmaker, and media theorist Hito Steyerl joins the Dramaturgies of Resistance collective for a lecture, screening and discussion of recent work, including a live Q&A with the Zoom Webinar audience. The Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants prior to the event start time.

*PLEASE NOTE*: We have reached capacity for the Webinar (thus please don't contact the organizers or the Jackman Humanities Institute about Webinar tickets), but will be running a livestream of the event to ensure that anyone can attend. The livestream link will be published on the Facebook event page and at the Dramaturgies of Resistance website prior to the event start time.

Hito Steyerl is an internationally renowned artist, filmmaker and scholar whose deft navigation of the disparate modes of art-making and theorizing continues to expand the ways we experience and examine the social roles of art and museums, experimentation with media and forms of presentation, and our interactions with realized and potential uses of artificial intelligence. At this unprecedented time, when it seems as if “everything is canceled,” Steyerl’s most recent work explores the complex relation between spread (of conspiracy theories no less than viral contagion) and simulation (from the automization of performance to our capacities for virtual interaction with statistical probability of human risk).
