The second symposium of the network, Art, Culture and Ethics in Black and White: 100 Years of The Birth of a Nation takes place on May 28-29 at the Whitworth Art Gallery of the University of Manchester and is entitled ‘The Birth of a Nation: Regions, Nations and the Transnational.’ Focusing on the domestic and international concerns that surround but more critically extend out from this controversial film, international speakers and papers will consider the representation of race and identity, within and outside the American context, as well as the effects and reach of film and culture on a global scale and the roots of social, economic, ideological and political division caused by this pervasive industry and its cultural offshoots in art, literature and performance. In addition to the speakers and panels, Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) will be giving an exclusive special performance in the Whitworth Art Gallery on Thursday evening.
