5024 // Yemeni Futurism with Alia Ali

At this event Yemeni-Bosnian multimedia artist Alia Ali will discuss her practice as an expression of Yemeni futurity.

From a nostalgic past and dystopian present, Yemeni-Bosnian multimedia artist Alia Ali reimagines Yemeni futurity. This talk will situate Ali's current art practice by engaging with a series of material objects—threads, stones, jewelry, dress—that bridge archaeological pasts with future imaginaries.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Alia Ali
(Arabic: عاليه علي // Sabean: ‎ 𐩲𐩱𐩡𐩺𐩲|𐩲𐩱𐩡) is a Yemeni-Bosnian-US multimedia artist whose work explores cultural binaries, challenges culturally sanctioned oppression, and confronts the dualistic barriers of conflicted notions of gender, politics, media, and citizenship. Working between language, photography, video, textile, and installation, Ali’s work addresses the politicization of the body, histories of colonization, imperialism, sexism, and racism through projects that take pattern and textile as their primary motif. Ali is a graduate of Wellesley College and the California Institute of the Arts. She lives and works in and between New Orleans, Paris, and Jaipur and is the recipient of the prestigious ARTSY Vanguard Emerging Artist Award and is a NIKON Global Ambassador.

This event has been organized by the Costumes and Collapse research project at the Neubauer Collegium. Co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature and the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Chicago.

Peter J. Boettke on the Austrian Perspective

Lecture

Peter J. Boettke on the Austrian Perspective

This series of talks aims to foster a deeper understanding of various theoretical stances on economic planning.

State intervention into the economy is back on the political agenda. What might economic planning look like in the 21st century? What is the appropriate balance between democratic, technocratic, and market power in shaping economic life and responding to social and political challenges? Could economic planning help solve some of our most pressing problems, including global warming, economic stagnation, and the crisis of care? Or would a turn to planning today merely repeat the errors and tragedies of the 20th century?

This series of talks, sponsored by the Economic Planning and Democratic Politics research project at the Neubauer Collegium, aims to foster a deeper understanding of various theoretical stances on economic planning. Our speakers will draw on insights from Austrian economics, neoclassical economics, Keynesian, and democratic socialist perspectives.
