poster for "Hooded and Headless: An Erratic Survey of Anonymity in Recent Video and Life" Film Program

This event has ended.

This program consists of a short talk on the function and condition of anonymity vis a vis the hood, followed by a program of films and videos, including a new work by Harry Dodge, that evoke or exploit hoods, masks, facelessness or headlessness. What does the hood reference? What does it allow? What is gained and lost with the obscuring of a face? (Or the complete dispatch of a head?) What is the relationship of the face to compassion? What is the relationship of specificity (the local) to ethical response? What is possible in a performance without a face?
