“Race and New Media,” the first-ever conference of its kind, will take place at New York City College of Technology (City Tech), May 3 from 9 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., in the campus’ Voorhees Building, 186 Jay Street.
While being held in an academic setting, the conference is intended to draw participants from the broader community as well, bringing in members of the general public as both presenters and attendees.
In addition, there will be a special evening (7:30-10:30 p.m.) “multimedia” session in collaboration with Mitch McEwen’s Superfront, an architect-run performance and multimedia space in Bedford-Stuyvesant (superfront.org).
Those interested in participating, whether academics or members of the general public, should e-mail Seaton and Barlow at raceandnewmedia@gmail.com. For more on the conference, visit discuss.epluribusmedia.net/race_and_new_media.
