Event overview
Dr Gail Lewis (Birkbeck/Department of Psychosocial Studies) joins us for a special screening of 'Twilight City' by Reese Auguiste/Black Audio Film Collective
'Twilight City w. Dr Gail Lewis' is part of the Autumn 2018 Visual Cultures Public Programme 'Bleeding Edges and Solvent Objects: Racial Capitalism and Urban Technopoetics'
If the algorithmic city is an instrument of financial capital, then it representsracial capitalism’s latest spatial product, its new bleeding edge. This is somethingwe learn from the black radical tradition: that technologies of financial accumulationpresuppose spatial modes of dispossession. But according to Cedric Robinson thetradition makes another claim: that the dispossessed create ‘solvent objects’ able todissolve the colonial hold of the metropolis. This programme explores the work ofanti-colonial poetics, and asks if an insurgent technopoetics is emerging that canconfront new urban modes of domination by renewing our habits of assembly.Through a series of talks, screenings and discussions we will listen to the alienatingsensuosity of sounds, take in the opaque force of images, pay close attention to thegestural, and enter into the social production of thought.
