micha c\u00e1rdenas<\/a><\/strong>: “Trans Imaginaries”<\/p>\n

Join artist, scholar, activist, and USC alumna micha cardenas as she launches her debut novel, Atoms Never Touch<\/em>. Exploring time travel, cybernetics, and neurobiology through vectors of queer desire, revolution, and radical imaginaries, Atoms Never Touch<\/em> taps into the power of speculative fiction to move us toward alternative futures. cardenas will deliver a reading from her novel, followed by a conversation with Tara McPherson. Together they will reflect on cardenas’ novel as well as on her polymathic praxis, a career that sees her moving fluidly between academic, artistic, and activist realms. Before the reading, c\u00e1rdenas will conduct a practice-based performance workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n \n
