"Ghosts on the Border: Art, Media, and Imaginaries of the US-Mexico Border" with China Medel (Duke, Literature Program graduate student and instructor

LUNCH provided! How does art allow us to see the unseen in a hyper visible space? Engaging with art and film practices about the US-Mexico Border, a space patrolled by drones and constantly captured on surveillance cameras, Medel's research wonders at the different ways art allows us to see and imagine migration and the border differently. Looking at its intersections with activism, how does art help us envision new forms of politics at the border?
