Conference | Regulating the Online Public Sphere (online)


The stakes could not be higher for finding a solution for how to regulate the global public sphere, with ... more >> the survival of modern democratic governance hanging in the balance. The power the big platforms wield over public discourse has distorted the marketplace of ideas, to a point where there is broad consensus internationally that some form of state intervention is necessary. In the United States, that realization is particularly contentious as it is at odds with US tradition and the First Amendment, which favors competition over regulation not only of the economy but also of ideas. As frustrations rise over how to address these issues, and competing visions of regulation emerge from the Digital Markets Act in Europe, to the Access Act in the United States, to the Texas Social Media Law, alternative technical solutions, rather than political ones, look increasingly worthy of consideration. Speakers will discuss new models of decentralized networks and, on the second day, the different regional approaches to public and private regulation of content moderation on the internet.

Screening | 3 Short Documentaries on Ancestry, Decolonializing, and Diaspora


A screening and Q+A with director Suneil Sanzgiri to discuss Barobar Jagtana, his trilogy of short ... more >> films. Shot with 16mm film stock that expired in 2002—the same year as the state-sponsored anti-Muslim genocide in Gujarat—and filmed amid the anti-CAA protests in Delhi, Sanzgiri's cinematic trilogy, traces lines and lineages of ancestral memory, poetry, history, songs, decoloniality and diaspora. At Home But Not at Home (2019) utilizes various modes of seeing at a distance to question the construction of identity and anti-colonial solidarity across continents. Letter from Your Far-Off Country (2020) blurs boundaries of the epistolary format through a letter written by the filmmaker directed towards a distant relative, who was a revolutionary freedom fighter, prisoner's rights activist, and Communist party leader. Golden Jubilee (2021) takes as its starting point scenes of the filmmaker’s father navigating a virtual rendering of their ancestral home in Goa, India, created using the same technologies of surveillance that mining companies use to map locations for iron ore in the region. A tool for extraction and exploitation becomes a method for preservation.

Author Reading | Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall (online)


Design critic Alexandra Lange reads from her new book. Few places have been as nostalgized, or as maligned, ... more >> as malls. Since their birth in the 1950s, they have loomed large as temples of commerce, the agora of the suburbs. In their prime, they proved a powerful draw for creative thinkers such as Joan Didion, Ray Bradbury, and George Romero, who understood the mall’s appeal as both critics and consumers. Yet today, amid the aftershocks of financial crises and a global pandemic, as well as the rise of online retail, the dystopian husk of an abandoned shopping center has become one of our era’s defining images. Conventional wisdom holds that the mall is dead. But what was the mall, really? And have rumors of its demise been greatly exaggerated?
