PUBLIC LECTURE Dr. Joana Joachim
THE APOCALYPSE ALREADY HAPPENED; SO, WHAT NOW? A DISCUSSION OF THE EXHIBITION SPECULATIONS

Wednesday September 23, 1PM-2PM EST

Dr. Joana Joachim presented her reflections on the 2019 exhibition SPECULATIONS presented at Artexte Documentation Centre. The exhibition set out to examine the motivations of QTBIPOC artists using speculation as visual strategies. In this public lecture, Dr. Joachim discussed the political and social potential of the visual culture of speculative fiction as a site for activism and change in a context of ongoing calamity. The public lecture was presented in partnership with Ethnocultural Art Histories Research (EAHR) and the Department of Art History.
