Join us for a panel discussion on Language, Indigeneity and the Earth with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Alnoor Ladha and Donnay Edmund as part of this year’s Stephan Weiss Lecture Series, presented by the School of Design Strategies, that centers Raoul Peck’s four-part HBO documentary series, Exterminate All the Brutes.
Screening Part 1 (Optional): The Disturbing Confidence of Ignorance - 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Panel Discussion: Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Alnoor Ladha and Donnay Edmund - 12:00 - 1:30 pm
Through screenings and discussions, we collectively challenge dominant worldviews around colonialism, capitalism, business practices, and material inequities, asking how students, educators, designers, and business leaders can intervene in the stories, myths, frames, and systems that inform our practices and pedagogies. Moving beyond the rhetorical, the series challenges participants to identify concrete steps to transform and transition their own practices from the oppressive and exploitative to the equitable and just.
Over the course of four weeks, we invite the public to engage with the film and participate in curated activities in viewing pods and to attend a variety of discussions and talks to consider and explore how these themes translate in their own practices. This year’s talks explore indigenous knowledge, interdependence, decolonizing futures and other approaches in challenging racist systems and institutional power.
Screening Exterminate All the Brutes
Please note the optional corresponding screenings will take place before each discussion and are open to the public. Participants from The New School will be able to screen the documentary asynchronously at anytime during the Weiss Lecture series from February 25- March 24th via the links that will be sent to registered participants.
