As a part of our #LIND26 series "America First, America Alone? Global Politics in an Age of Uncertainty", we welcome interdisciplinary artist and activist Dread Scott.
Dread Scott has spent his career using art to disrupt norms, question corrupt systems of power, and ignite necessary political conversations. His work, he writes, “looks towards an era without exploitation or oppression,” challenging the notion that current political and economic structures of America as inevitable.
This talk is moderated by Elliott Ramsey, curator of The Polygon Gallery.
The Lind Initiative is presented by UBC’s School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, in partnership with the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and The Polygon Gallery.
