Originally commissioned by the UK's Victoria & Albert Museum, Speculations on Capture continues Morehshin Allahyari's practice of using 3D simulation, digital fabrication, archival methods, and storytelling as tools to deconstruct Western technological colonialism.
Following the screening, Stanford professor Usha Iyer will join Allahyari for a rich discussion on the film, history, and myth-making, and the power of media to refigure imperialist legacies, followed by a Q&A with the audience. After the program, stick around for a cocktail hour in Gray Area's lobby in the presence of the speakers.
Speculations on Capture and the associated program are presented with support from the San Francisco Arts Commission as part of the Shaping Legacy initiative: a multi-year equity-focused commitment to critically examine the monuments and memorials in San Francisco's Civic Art Collection.
