About the event
The aliens have landed in Tower Hamlets and the fate of the planet rests in the hands of College of Modern Anxiety's panel on interspecies communications to help them understand the perplexing world of humans. Their first question—what does it mean when someone from their spin class asks if they want “to grab a coffee?”
We’ll:
Use semiotics to decode the myths we tell each other about ourselves, and invent new ones
Experiment with different ways of seeing, and with the limitations of seeing as a way to understand the world
Play around with the hats we wear, the names we use, and the stories we tell about ourselves
Lauren Low and Dr. Noah Gabriel reunite to bring you their second collab!
