Against Purity: Audiovisual evocations and landscapes of extraction, April 27, 2021, Mediating the Ecological Imperative Lecture Series

Drawing from Alexis Shotwell’s argument for a practice of “constitutive impurity” (Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times, 2016), in this talk, I will engage with audiovisual evocations of futurity and landscapes of extraction that center the Sonoran borderlands and inter-American Indigenous filmmaking.

Ph.D. student Andrea Bordoli will join me to discuss his current research project with the inter-disciplinary project, Mediating the Ecological Imperative, University of Bern.
