How to Make #Art Political: #RaoulPeck and #VietThanhNguyen
#Haitian #filmmaker Raoul Peck (#Lumumba, #IAmNotYourNegro, etc.) highlights the roots of violence and inequality today.
Viet Thanh Nguyen is a VietnameseAmerican professor and author whose spy novel #TheSympathiser won the Pulitizer Prize for #fiction and was recently made into an HBO series. In his work, he investigates his own refugee journey, the politics of memory and the effects of U.S. wars abroad.
In this episode, Peck and Nguyen discuss their political coming of age, what #Gaza 🇵🇸 tells us about the world today, and how they use their work to challenge and unsettle.
