Amidst woods walks and warbler-watching, I've been daydreaming up a new project with my friend Anna Lublina:
Talk Flock: A Series of Talks
The idea is simple. We'll meet every few weeks. At each meeting, two guests will give Talks, on topics of their choosing. Then, we'll discuss.
The idea is to make an opportunity for encounter, serendipity, exposure to new ways of thinking and talking, together. What possibilities lie in this form of digital togetherness?
We'll hear varying approaches to the form of Talk - performances / lectures; improvised / prepared; participatory / univocal, &c / &c; from varying disciplines and perspectives.
We'll have some fun online with interesting folks.
If this all sounds intriguing to you, please email TalkFlockTalk@gmail.com, and I'll put you on the list for further updates. Our first gathering will be Thursday, June 4th, at 8pm EST, and I think it's going to be a good one. George Emilio Sanchez will talk about the legal justification for the stealing of Native lands in America, and Elena Rose Light will explore Zoom as a creative medium. If you can't make that first meeting, but still would be on the list for further updates, send us an email anyway.
And if you think you'd like to give a talk in the future, let me know. This is an open door.
I hope this finds you well, safe and stimulated, in good health and good spirits.
Much love,
Jerry
