Slow mania, a keynote
with Nazareth Hassan
Sunday, May 3
10am PT, 12pm CT, 1pm ET, 7pm CET
How might writing and publishing inform, bend, and nourish our artistic practices that live off the page? In this keynote, Nazareth Hassan shares how publishing can live within an interdisciplinary artistic life, deepening our relationships to community and audience, helping us discover new forms of interpretation and experience, mobilizing us into movement and action. How might print change our relationship to a moment, an idea, a feeling? How might publishing go even further and change the material conditions in which our work is created?
