Radius Books + STABLEarts Present Necessary Fictions with Debi Cornwall & David Chickey

About the Talk

In this time of perpetual war abroad, constant vigilance and political division at home, what are the games we play, the stories we tell, to manage unsettling realities? How are fictions deployed and embraced, and to what end? Debi Cornwall’s Necessary Fictions is a forthcoming Radius book and a multimedia installation exploring the performance of American power and identity in this militarized, post-9/11 era.
