Filmmaker and photographer, Carlos Javier Ortiz will take us through his documentary film We All We Got (2014)—an elegy for the city and people of Chicago as it grappled with the scourge of violence and inconsolable loss while trying to rebuild. Ortiz, who thinks critically about place and the built environment as he examines the impact of violence in our communities, will share his work to illuminate the stories too often reduced to stereotypes. Ortiz will be in conversation with Laurence Ralph, Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University and Director of Center on Transnational Policing, whose research examines policing and militarization in our contemporary moment. The conversation will be hosted by Grace Aneiza Ali, curator of On Protest and Mourning.
