Höcek\, and Martin Stigsgaard argue that the traditional fo rmat of a single lecturer speaking to an audience sets up a binary opposit e all of its own -- speaker/listener\, which simply reinforces the power s tructure between those who "possess" knowledge and those who "consume" it.

The series features prominent artists\, activists\, and architects from across the globe who will discuss their work and the unique political and environmental challen ges they confront.\n\nJeneen Frei Njootli is a 2SQ Vuntut Gwitchin artist working in performance\, sound\, textiles\, images\, collaboration\, works hops and feral scholarship.
