Convener: Roewan Crowe

In this workgroup, we will engage in discussions concerning the performance and representation of violence. As artists, activists and scholars, how can we deepen our practice, and articulate more clearly what we are doing when we represent violence in our work? What can be learned from experiential, affective, artistic, and theoretical engagements with guns and gun culture?
