with Saeed Taji Farouky
Soon We Will All Be History Here is a spatial performance lecture that examines absence as a fundamental part of radical cinema. Incorporating elements of music, architecture, and literature, Saeed will walk with participants around the remnants of the town of Caribou; a psychogeographic wandering through loss, displacement, reincarnation, and film as a form of resistance.
This event occurs off-site in the ghost town of Caribou, near Nederland, CO.
