Artist and writer MARIAM GHANI and Editorial Director of Eyebeam,
MARISA MAZRIA KATZ speak to New Models about Ghani's new work
Dis-Ease, a forthcoming essay-film that considers how the metaphors
we use to speak about illness and contagion affect the ways in
which we prepare and respond to epidemics and treat those afflicted
and affected by them. This podcast is part of New Models' series
for TENTACULAR (Extremophilia edition), a "festival of critical
technologies & digital adventures" curated by Julia Kaganskiy
and José Luis de Vicente for Matadero Madrid, 2019. FOR MORE
