Please join us for the second and final Sleep Salon of the Fall series, where the Sleep Sociability will discuss "The Politics of Sleep" with Cressida Heyes and Saodat Ismailova. Moderated by Alanna Thain, this online event is open to all and registration is free.

When & where: Wednesday November 16, 1Oam ET, on Zoom
Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/440634669157

Description :
What space does sleep occupy in a politics of experience? Often conceived as a retreat from the social and communal, how is sleep becoming increasingly a space for a more expansive sense of the work of the political beyond the question of “rights”? In this sleep salon, we consider sleep as a site of politics in dialogue with feminism, violence, desire, memory and exhaustion.

Cressida Heyes, author of Anaesthetics of Existence: Essays on Experience at the Edge (Duke UP, joins us from the University of Alberta to discuss their new project, “Sex is the New Sleep” and the epistemological demands of the “unlived” experience of sleep.

Artist Saodat Ismailova, who works between Taskkent and Paris, will discuss the place of sleep as retreat and engagement in her work as part of a generation of post-Soviet artists from Central Asia. Across film and installation in works such as Zukhra (2013) and Chillahona (2022), the resting body of women creates not a withdrawal from the political, but its expansion through time, space and affect.”


Hope to see many of you there!

Best wishes,

Albertine
