"The Ballad of Special Ops Cody" (2017) with Artist Michael Rakowitz

Register

Join us online for a special screening of the 2017 stop-motion film The Ballad of Special Ops Cody, followed by a conversation with the artist. Special Ops Cody, filmed at the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, meditates on the experience of war and the real human and cultural costs of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Following the screening, we will be joined live for a conversation and Q&A with the artist Michael Rakowitz, an Iraqi-American artist whose conceptual projects, sculptures, and public art installations prompt us to think critically about issues of cultural heritage and connections between past and present in the Middle East. Works by Michael Rakowitz are featured in the exhibition Assyria to America at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
