This event is FREE and will be followed by a reception.

According to Dr. J. P. Singh, Associate Professor, Communications, Culture and Technology at Georgetown University, “Our interactive world can take a creative product, such as a Hollywood film, Bollywood song, or Latin American telenovela, and transform it into a source of cultural anxiety. What does this artwork say about the artist or the world she works in? How will these artworks evolve in the global market? Film, music, television, and the performing arts enter the same networks of exchange as other industries, and the anxiety they produce informs a fascinating area of study for art, culture, and global politics.” Come join us as Dr. Singh shows how the confrontation between global politics and symbolic creative expression give rise to far-reaching cultural anxieties and politics.

This event is presented jointly with the Indian Cultural Society.
