Hacking Rites: Art and Activism in the Virtual Age at Ashkal Alwan

Ashkal Alwan is pleased to invite you to a public talk by Tarek El-Ariss in Home Workspace.

This talk focuses on the tribulations of the Arab author in the age of social media and political upheavals. It examines how artistic and political practices take shape through acts of hacking, bullying, and manipulation. It analyzes the ways in which a complex interplay of aesthetic, commercial, and political forces shape interactive spaces of literary and artistic production mediated by the Internet, global culture, and travel and displacement in the Arab world and beyond.
