Digital Arts and Humanities Spring Semester Finale Meeting

May 12, 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Mānoa Campus, History Lounge (Sakamaki B210) Add to Calendar

Please join us for the semester's last meeting of the Digital Arts and Humanities Initiative. This is an informal meet-and-greet and casual recap where we'll be making some of this semester's Initiative projects available for viewing, and introducing you all to DAHI's new multi-purpose space in Sakamaki!

Food and refreshments will be served, and though there is no real agenda, this semester has seen its share of interesting collisions, collusions and contradictions between arts, humanity and the digital. In the spirit of good cocktail party discussion, we thought we'd throw a few hash tags out to you in advance: #blacklivesmatter, #maunakea, and #fusioncenters. Today there is a lively discussion about the role of social media in activism, which automatically engages well-established issues of history, culture, and politics. Like the Arab Spring, a blurring of distinction between action in the real world, the hashtags that describe them, and online spectatorship has occurred.

This certainly won't be a structured symposium, and it isn't meant to take away from camraderie and food, but we figured it'd be fun to end the semester with some conversation about some of the broader issues that are shaping the digital, the arts, and humanity.

Hope to see you there!
