Shu Lea Cheang is an artist and filmmaker. Her genre bending gender hacking practices challenge the existing operating mechanisms and the society’s structural boundaries. Her work builds social interface with transgressive plots and open network that permits public participation; constructs networked installation and multi-player performance in participatory impromptu mode; drafts sci-fi narratives in film scenario and artwork imagination.

Israelism
When two young American Jews raised to unconditionally love Israel witness the brutal way Israel treats Palestinians, their lives take sharp left turns.
They join a movement of young American Jews battling the old guard to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel, revealing a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity.
An exhibit and event documenting ten years of radically collaborative and transdisciplinary art-and-design making and creative play by Pratt faculty and students.

The exhibit will be March 5-7 (T/W/Th) from noon to 7p.m., in DeKalb Hall, and the
Opening event on Wednesday, March 6, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Jennifer Miller and Ethan Philbrick will be performing (music + dance) at the opening, and there will be some poetry and maybe a short manifesto or two.
