Hello LAC scholars and friends! We're very excited to invite you to "Tangents on Aspiration:" our event tomorrow afternoon at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History, in conjunction with Jonas Becker’s exhibition Westward Bound. The two video installations in Westward Bound, Almost Always and Prodigal Sun, illustrate the arc of aspirational ideologies, focusing on scientific aspiration, colonialist aspiration, and the aspiration to outwit time and humanness. "Tangents" will take off from there, asking “what is aspiration,” “how does it function,” and “what role does it play in sustaining capitalism.” Drawing together five very different perspectives, Tangents on Aspiration builds a cumulative understanding of the concept’s differing manifestations and its instrumental uses in various cultural contexts.
Panel participants include Neha Choksi, Christopher Cole, Gloria Galvez, Jean-Paul Leonard, and Chris McClary.
Following the LAC event, The Best Friends Learning Gang will host an amateur workshop on IMMORTALITY!
