Living Democracy Talk: Lessons of the Hour — Frederick Douglass with Isaac Julien and Mark Nash
Artist and filmmaker, Isaac Julien, and writer and curator, Mark Nash, will screen excerpts from Julien’s film “Lessons of the Hour—Frederick Douglass” in a presentation that will explore the importance of looking to history and biography to articulate contemporary cultural movements. Isaac Julien’s moving image practice draws from and comments on a range of artistic disciplines including film, theatre, photography and performance.
Julien is a Distinguished Professor of the Arts and Nash is a Professor of Arts at UC Santa Cruz where they run the Isaac Julien Lab, a platform for the innovation of visual and sonic languages for production and the critical reception of moving image, video art, and installation work by examining historical and contemporary art practice.
