“Film and performance artist Raha Raissnia (Instagram: @raharaissnia) joins us for the New Social Environment #34 with host and fellow moving-image-art maker Andrew Lampert (Instagram: @lamphole) for a conversation on Raha’s recent work, her relationship with collaboration, and working with film as a tactile medium. In response to the imminent crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Brooklyn Rail shifted our operations online. These New Social Environments provide a place to have vibrant conversations in a time of great physical distancing.”
