A Glitch: House 9 x Dark Opacities Lab in Conversation

In this conversation, Farah Khan, Balbir K. Singh and Kevin Yuen Kit Lo will explore the tension, challenge, and possibilities of considering opacity as a framework in which to devise and create a research lab. As a portal to the lab, House9 created such a site for Dark Opacities Lab at Concordia University, with the demands of considering what opacity could look like, and where that overlaps with the concept of a glitch. In addition, they will speak to the work of design and justice-centered projects in building solidarity and networks for communities of colour, especially at a time of intensifying crises locally and globally.
