About the Speaker
The White Pube is a collaboration between Muhammad and Gabrielle de la Puente, born out of the need for art writing that goes beyond the “just bad chat by middle-class white men.” They use social media, audio recording, unconventional punctuation, billboards in the public space, and a practice of embodied criticism. Zarina Muhammad from the influential UK-based art criticism collective, The White Pube, is the guest in the Center for Human Rights and the Arts' second public talk.
