El taller de Serra concluy\u00f3 con una presentaci\u00f3n, Hacking the Veil (Hackear el velo). Central al trabajo que present\u00f3 Serra es una discusi\u00f3n de las limitaciones de la representaci\u00f3n para capturar la realidad. La obra de Serra problematiza las im\u00e1genes que son envasadas y f\u00e1cilmente disponibles para espectadores en nuestra sociedad, intentando de exponer su capacidad para la perpetuaci\u00f3n de estereotipos da\u00f1inos y otras limitaciones a entender nuestra realidad social y m\u00e1s amplia. Serra explor\u00f3 este componente de su obra en t\u00e9rminos expl\u00edcitamente pol\u00edticos en su discurso Hacking the Veil, que los estudiantes asistieron como la etapa final del taller, donde Serra estableci\u00f3 una conexi\u00f3n entre los \u2018bordes\u2019 creados por las representaciones estereot\u00edpicas de migrantes y la vigilancia policial f\u00edsica de las fronteras en Europa.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The workshop with Toni Serra began with a question and answer session with Serra, where he explained his artmaking process and worldview to the students participating in the workshop. This was followed by Entremundos, a screening of several of Serra&#8217;s short films. The screening was open to the entire campus as part of Carleton\u2019s International Film Forum, and was followed by a Q&amp;A session with Serra. Serra&#8217;s workshop concluded with a presentation, Hacking the Veil. Central to the work Serra presented is a discussion of the limitations of representation in capturing reality. Serra&#8217;s work problematizes the images that come readily packaged for spectators in our society, seeking to expose their capacity for the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes and other limitations to understanding our social and greater reality. This component of Serra&#8217;s work was put in explicitly political terms in his talk Hacking The Veil, which students attended as the final stage of the workshop, where Serra made a connection between the \u2018borders\u2019 created by stereotypical representations of migrants and the physical policing of borders in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Video of Toni Serra\/Abu Ali&#8217;s Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/145655453\" width=\"500\" height=\"283\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Video shown during Toni Serra\/Abu Ali&#8217;s Presentation: \u00abHacking the Veil\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/142302644\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00abThe border tends to occupy the totality of the system and become center itself. Under the shadow of borders where control is out of control, a new totalitarian order seems to grow expanding the non-being zone. Usually we listen about migration in terms of politics, economics, demographics, &#8230; but rarely in terms of knowledge and wisdom; a wisdom of which we are truly needy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This is a kind of videoessay by Abu Ali, with excerpts coming from very different footage: independent documentaries, film, commercials, propaganda, interviews,&#8230; all of them credit at the end of the video.<br \/>\n[only for educational purposes]&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This video essay is part of a lecture pointing key issues in its three chapters: The Colonial Trace, The Border as a Center, The non-being Zones, deColonial Voices.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.al-barzaj.org\/2014\/06\/hackeando-el-velo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">al-barzaj.org\/2014\/06\/hackeando-el-velo.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s a in progress project&#8230; the one here is the versi\u00f3n that was screened at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota.\u00a0Thanks to Palmar Alvarez\u00bb\u00a0<a style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/142302644\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More information&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/21stcenturyartivism.sites.carleton.edu\/en\/audiovisual-creation\/toni-serra\/\"> \u2b05\ufe0e Back to Toni Serra\/Abu Ali\u2019s Biography<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El taller con Toni Serra comenz\u00f3 con una sesi\u00f3n de preguntas y respuestas con Serra, en la que explic\u00f3 a los estudiantes participando en el taller su proceso de crear arte y su visi\u00f3n del mundo.
