This full-day symposium will convene artists, historians, and designers to draw out the intersection of two key themes: how individuals and groups are represented in public discourse, media, and institutions, and the role of public records in shaping this representation. The day will include presentations and conversations with artists delving into practical aspects of investigative journalism, archival research methods, and data analysis. Presenters include Bilal Ansari, Heather Hart, Michael Hartman, Jeffrey Gibson, Steve Locke, Jami Powell, and Nate Young.
