Join us on Friday, August 1 for a conversation between interdisciplinary scholar Neferti Tadiar and Rahul Gudipudi, CARA’s Director of Exhibitions and Fellowships. Grounded in Tadiar’s work on value, race, and empire—and themes considered in CARA’s current exhibition Stephanie Comilang: An Apparition, A Song—Tadiar and Gudipudi will come together for an open conversation on infrastructures of survival: not limited to roads or technologies, but extended to poetry, informal markets, para-institutions, kinship webs, laboring bodies, and sonic rituals.

Reflecting upon vital platforms of social practice that emerge in the fractures of capital—informal economies, feminist care networks, migratory soundscapes, intergenerational knowledges—this dialogue will consider how people create the conditions for life even as dominant systems render them disposable. Prior to the 7pm conversation, Gudipudi will offer a 6pm walkthrough of An Apparition, A Song.

We encourage RSVPs to gauge interest in our programs. Kindly note that you are welcome to leave after the walkthrough or join only for the conversation.
