In conjunction with Neo-nomads, we will host a panel discussion on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 7-9pm at BRIC Rotunda Gallery. Panelists include Uzma Z. Rizvi, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies, Critical and Visual Studies, Pratt Institute; Erica Robles, Assistant Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, New York University; and Cassim Shepard, filmmaker and director of Urban Omnibus, a project of the Architectural League of New York. Each panelist will reflect on the exhibition as it relates to their own field while engaging with the theme and topic of the panel: “Taking, Leaving, Moving: mobility, evocative objects and a sense of home.”
The title of the panel is inspired by Renate Mihatsch, edited volume entitled “Taking From, Leaving In, Moving On: Mapping Urban Nomadism”.
