Description

The series Raw Hope of Humanity Rising brings together artists, activists, media critics, cultural and government officials in interdisciplinary panels to discuss the political impact of Covid-19 during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. 

Information vs. Propaganda explores the distortion of truth and information through techniques of propaganda and disinformation that falsely attempt to persuade public opinion. The dialogue will feature Randall Packer, Moderator (Creative Director, Third Space Network); Hasan Elahi (Artist, Director, School of Art, George Mason University); Will Stevens (U.S. Dept. of State Foreign Service Officer, Former Spokesperson, U.S. Embassy in Moscow); Siva Vaidhyanathan (Professor, Modern Media Studies, University of Virginia).
