Speaker: Dr. Simone Browne, Associate Professor of African and African Diaspora Studies, and Research Director of Critical Surveillance Inquiry with Good Systems, at the University of Texas at Austin

This talk is a series of “small comments in no particular order” on the interventions and innovations made by artists whose works grapple with the surveillance of Black life, from policing to encryption, electronic waste, and artificial intelligence. The interventions under study trouble surveillance and its various methodologies, and are “a means of preparation” for imagining and living Black life beyond the surveillance state. (The quoted text is borrowed from Avery F. Gordon’s Hawthorn Archive).
