“State Secrecy and the Limits of the Visible”
Description
Fri 9 at 7:30pm. $8, members $6. Geographer and artist Trevor Paglen takes us on a road trip through the world of hidden budgets, state secrets, covert military bases and disappeared people: through a landscape that military and intelligence insiders call “the black world.” Over the course of his talk, Paglen leads us from “nonexistent” Air Force and CIA installations in the Nevada desert to secret prisons in Afghanistan and a collection of even more obscure “black sites” that are startlingly close to home.
