“Tactical Embodiment”

We invite you to join us on Zoom, Monday, May 24 at 6pm CDT, in what will be our final OPC event of the 2020-21 academic year, for a special presentation titled “Tactical Embodiment” by artist Angela Washko.

During her talk, Angela Washko will present several different strategies for performing, participating in and transforming online environments that are especially hostile toward women. In addition to presenting her video game based works and online interventions, she will talk about her new documentary film: Workhorse Queen.

As a feminist media artist working in a variety of forms, Angela Washko is committed to telling complex and unconventional stories about the media we consume from unusual perspectives. She is the founder of The Council on Gender Sensitivity and Behavioral Awareness in World of Warcraft, a long-term intervention inside the popular online video game. 

We kindly ask that you register in advance for this event. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing the Zoom details on how to join.
