SUMMARY:Spring 2021 Sciame Lecture Series: Okwui Okpokwasili\, Camille Norm
 ent\, Onome Ekeh
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the new SCIAME Lecture Series\, titled And/
 Or. “Visceral Disruptions” will feature Camille Norment and Okwui Okp
 okwasili\, hosted by Onome Ekeh\, for a discussion of art and architecture
 .\n\nFree and open to the public - Please register for this Zoom event he
 re.\nIn this online series\, curators Viren Brahmbhatt\, Ali C. Höcek\,
  and Martin Stigsgaard argue that the traditional format of a single lec
 turer speaking to an audience sets up a binary opposite all of its own -- 
 speaker/listener\, which simply reinforces the power structure between tho
 se who "possess" knowledge and those who "consume" it. In its place\, the 
 &amp\;/Or Online Dialogues will present two speakers in conversation with 
 each other\, moderated by a third. The series features prominent artists\,
  activists\, and architects from across the globe who will discuss their w
 ork and the unique political and environmental challenges they confront.\n
