Panel | Dark Charisma with Amber A’Lee Frost, Daniel Keller and Sean Monahan
Thurs | 7pm
After the 2016 US election cycle, the traditional marketing maxims of honesty, transparency, and positivity have all been disproven. In post-truth times, trolling, information asymmetry, and anger are all equally efficient means of communicating. Please join us as artist and strategist Sean Monahan leads a panel discussion with artist Daniel Keller and writer Amber A’Lee Frost about what these developments mean for organizing and messaging.
