[PREVIEW] #4 Amin Husain & Georgia Sagri: Occupy and the Epistemology of Freedom

We’re joined by friends Amin and Georgia as we approach the 10-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. Together we discuss the general assembly as a module, cultivating spaces of freedom and experimentation, the performance of knowing, not knowing, and unknowing, the experience of threatening power, the accident and rupture, practicing the politics of life, and we remember David Graeber and the many we've lost.--"The genuine does not exist: Interview with Georgia Sagri" - Apostolos Vasilopoulos, South as a State of Mind, 2012: https://southasastateofmind.com/article/genuine-not-exist/--"Interview: Nitasha Dhillon and Amin Husain - MTL Collective" - Annabelle Boissier, Arts Cabinet, 2017: https://www.artscabinet.org/repository/interview-nitasha-dhillon-and-amin-husain-mtl-collectiveAmin Husain is a New York-based artist and organizer who has taught courses on art, activism, and strategic use of media.
