Do you ever feel like someone’s watching you? Fretting over the collapse of private life into public life, of how social media enables us to internalize casual surveillance of ourselves and others? Or do you think it’s maybe kind of hot? This panel will host contemporary conversations about surveillance, modesty, shame, and ask what spaces should be free to be freaky. Do we have to kill the cop in our heads, or can we get off instead? Join Carta Monir and Kate Wagner for a conversation moderated by Lux's Asya Sağnak at Pilsen Community Books on Wednesday, October 1st at 7pm. The event is free and masking is required for all attending.
