Optimism and Futurity

Hala Al-Ani and Alia Al-Sabi, moderated by Uzma Z. Rizvi

Broadcasted throughout the Biennial

History and the future happen in the quiet moments in between, in the everyday. Moderated by Uzma Z. Rizvi, curators Alia Al-Sabi (Department of Graphic Optimism) and Hala Al Ani (Department of Flying Saucers) will talk about what it means to curate, imagine, and work within the archival impulses of nation building, and the speculative future of the now. This conversation will be held in the public area: the conversation is public and embedded in the everyday.
