<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A conceptual course packet of readings around and inspired by the work of Trinh T. Minh-ha.</b> <p/>Driven by the central question What are we learning from artists today? the second volume of <i>A Series of Open Questions </i>is informed by themes found in the work of Trinh T. Minh-ha, such as cultural hybridization and fluidity of identity, digital and migratory aesthetics, memory and landscape, decentered realities, feminist approaches to storytelling, meditations on death and myth, post-coloniality and decolonization, and women's work as related to cultural politics. The contributions to <i>Why Are They So Afraid of the Lotus?</i> embody Trinh's own weariness around categorization and investigate the ways production can come from and be based in positions of unknowing.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>-</b> Anthony Huberman is the Director and Chief Curator of the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts in San Francisco and Founding Director of the Artist's Institute in New York.<br/> <b>-</b> Kim Nguyen is the Curator and Head of Programs at the Wattis Institute.<br/> <b>-</b> Jeanne Gerrity is the Deputy Director and Head of Publications at the Wattis and has written for such publications as <i>Artforum</i>, <i>Art Agenda</i>, and <i>Frieze</i>.
