Where: Hunter College – The Lang Auditorium – HN 424

CinemaTalks presents a free screening of “Loveless” and a Q&A with director
Ramin Serry

“Loveless” is a darkly witty urban comedy about a New York City commitment-phobe
stringing along
his ex-girlfriend while he chases younger women. Then he meets the sexy,
secretive Ava, and
becomes entangled with her bizarre, cult-like family.

This event is free and open to the public, not just CUNY students.

Article on Prof. Miranda’s work

Article about Prof. Miranda’s work VOTEMOS.US and a work by artist Jenny Polak Design for the Alien Within in the LLJournal “The Un-accounted Body in Performance: Who is the Subject of the Rights of the Illegal Alien?”

“Both Votemos.us (Miranda) and Design for the Alien Within (Polak) imagine treating the illegal alien as if he/she matters; Votemos.us considers their political substance through hypothetical voting rights, and Design for the Alien Within considers their safety.”
