On Stumbling: A Lecture by Lera Kononchuk
As part of Alek Petuk’s seminar The Door Opens From the Other Side, the researcher and cultural studies expert Lera Kononchuk will read a paper explaining her experience of stumbling on the political plane.
“I held my tongue, coughed, tripped, overcame the lump in my throat, was paralyzed, blocked, interrupted by a chuckle. We will talk about the political meaning of interrupting the correspondence between sign and meaning through artistic works” (Lera Konochuk).
Registration is required in order to participate in this event.
