SubscribeMarjetica Potrc, Thierry Nlandu on Democracy + Access @ 6pm in Bartos Theater
April 11th, 2008 by Amber Frid-Jimenez 
Next Monday, April 14, 2008, Zones of Emergency will host talks by Marjetica Potrc and Thierry Nlandu in a Bartos Theater at the MIT Media Lab starting at 6pm.
Playwright, activist and founder of Le Group Amos, Thierry Nlandu, will talk about Picture Book on Participatory Democracy - An Art’s Act of Resistance against Facade Democracy, a project that informs citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and help them build a democracy that extends beyond national elections to everyday life, praxis and culture.
Marjetica Potrc will give a talk entitled Frontier Power comparing three of her recent research projects: the Western Balkans (LHE), the Amazonian state of Acre in western Brazil, and the city of New Orleans. She will address how the breakdown of twentieth-century modernism is followed by territorialization, which stops at the final frontiers of the human body and the structures that shelter it.
