Creative Time has announced author Chris Kraus and artists Eric Gottesman & Hank Willis Thomas (For Freedoms), who will be Summit X keynote speakers, playwright Jeremy O. Harris, artist Charles Gaines, editor of e-flux Anton Vidokle, and curator Tsige Tafesse, have joined the speaker lineup for Speaking Truth | Summit X, the organization's signature arts and politics convening.
The 10th anniversary of the Creative Time Summit will explore radical truth-telling and its implications, manifestations, potentialities, and challenges across disparate yet interconnected fields. The Summit will highlight the many challenges that face individuals, communities, and movements that seek to speak truth to power, while convening to imagine a different future.
The Summit will take various creative and surprising formats from November 14-16, 2019 with the main Summit discussions taking place at The Great Hall at The Cooper Union in New York City. Speaking Truth | Summit X will feature over 30 sessions led by artists, organizations, collectives, and grassroots movements, such as Carlos Motta, Molly Crabapple, Nato Thompson, Taeyoon Choi, Rashida Bumbray, Viva Ruiz from Thank God for Abortion, Maria Hupfield, and 8-Ball Community Inc. Sessions will range from walking tours, hands-on workshops, roundtable discussions, trainings, interactive performances, screenings, and other community-driven, strategy-focused formats. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to join for Speaking Truth | Summit X dinners, food experiences that foster communal space to refuel, relax, and get to know each other after a full day of presentations. Organized and hosted by local artists, practitioners, and organizations such as Black Magic Afrofuturism Book Club, CEC ArtsLink, Emily Chow Bluck, Lily Consuelo Saporta Tagiuri, and more the dinners range in cuisine, format, venue, and size, but all share a relationship to key Summit themes.
