Distance and Perception in the Wake of Climate Change | Capitalocene, Waste, Race and Gender – An Evening with Torkwase Dyson and Françoise Vergès

PROGRAM UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that artist Françoise Vergès will join Torkwase Dyson at this special program. Following the previously announced lecture by Dyson, Vergès will present her work and join Dyson and moderator Mario Gooden in conversation.
