〚Apr 27, 2023〛

with Catalina Insignares, Henrike Kohpeiß, Myriam Lefkowitz

For the public talk on April 27, Lefkowitz and Insignares depart from written reflections on la facultad (and its different iterations since 2017), drawing out some of the ideas in dialogue with the philosopher Henrike Kohpeiß. The talk approaches an ongoing project at a distance.
