Afterall and The Showroom: New Event Series

Afterall and The Showroom, London, are pleased to announce a new ongoing series of seminars and events that take place at The Showroom alongside the publication of each issue of the journal. These aim to create a wider forum in which to collaboratively flesh out editorial content with a small group of participants, and to broaden the remit of the journal by bringing it into contact with other ideas, practices and debates.

The first seminar is dedicated to the work of Berlin-based filmmaker Hito Steyerl, whose work is featured in Afterall issue 19 (Autumn/Winter 2008). The seminar will involve the screening of two recent films by Steyerl, November (2004) and Lovely Andrea (2007), followed by a group discussion led by the artist around issues that will include the politics of representation and the articulation of protest through the moving image.
