A Presentation by New York City artist Paul Chan, who spent the month of December 2002 in Baghdad, as a member of Voices in the Wilderness, a Nobel Peace Prize-nominated group working to end the sanctions against Iraq. Chan will present slides and video about his work and experience in Baghdad, offering a glimpse into the cultural, political, and everyday life of Iraqi citizens living under the weight of the UN sanctions and the chaos of another war. Chan will be joined by members of the Ruckus Society and United for Peace and Justice to talk about alternative and utopian visions and radical change.

Paul Chan is a 2003 Rockefeller Foundation New Media Arts Fellow and director of an online political/aesthetic think tank www.nationalphilistine.com.
