Latham Owen Zearfoss: Speech! Speech!! Speech!!!

SPEECH! SPEECH!! SPEECH!!! w/ Latham Owen Zearfoss Saturday, March 14th 8pm FREE Presented by 4th AUX Curatorial Fellow Anthony Romero For one night only, Latham Zearfoss presents an audiovisual mixtape of monologues, diatribes, interviews, stump speeches and good old testifying. SPEECH! is at once an essay film and a YouTube wormhole, seeking transcendence through disrupted moments of decorum. Culled from a multitude of cultural referents and paired with excerpts from the artist's oeuvre, SPEECH! is a knowing and empathetic meditation on the aesthetics of feminine agency -- and protest. http://lathamzearfoss.org About the Artist Latham Zearfoss is an artist and cultural producer living and working in Chicago.
