Carlos Trilnick will be screening some of his recent work on the representation of social protest in Argentina. including an important activist project where he had people wear wireless networked head-mounted video cameras during a major historic protest in Buenos Air which involved police killing of a protester. In this online work, footage from these cameras is juxtaposed with images of the protests presented on major news networks. He will also discuss community-based projects he is involved with in collaboration with university students and youth producers, including a multi-year digital media project on Don Quixote, the Talmud, and cultural identity issues with students in a poor Jewish neighborhood.
