Joshua Clover: Riot. Strike. Riot.
May 27, 2016
Award-winning poet and scholar Joshua Clover discussed his new book, Riot. Strike. Riot: The New Era of Uprisings. Clover identified our time as an 'age of riots,' where the struggle of people versus state and capital has taken to the streets, and theorized the riot as the form of the coming insurrection
Following his talk, Clover engaged in conversation with Stan Douglas, a Vancouver-based artist whose work has addressed Vancouver's riot history and current social issues. The discussion was moderated by Melanie O'Brian, director of SFU Galleries
