RSVP to join us Thursday, December 9, 2021 at 4:30 p.m. for a virtual screening program and discussion on contemporary Uyghur film culture. The conversation will consider the challenges faced by and present the great work coming from contemporary Uyghur filmmakers. The program ranges from self-ethnographic works set in the region and films created in the diaspora with Uyghur subjects, to work that represent the bonds Uyghurs are creating with other stateless peoples. The films will be available online preceding the event.

This anthropology course explores human attempts to extend sensory capacities through robots, sensors, nonhuman animals, and plants, considering how colonialism, race, disability, gender, and surveillance shape the desire to sense beyond the human.
