Heart to Heart: Third Cinema, Postcolonial Theory, and Critical Inquiry

In this episode, we are joined by compa Targol Mesbah, current Anthropology and Social Change professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies and activist-organizer. Targol reflects on the influences and experiences that guided her interest in photography, Third World Cinema, Post-Colonial Theory, and Critical Inquiry. We learn about Targol’s intellectual trajectory and its critical intervention in theories of representation and visual culture. As a collective, we explore our relationships to learning and academia and discuss the possibilities of spaces of learning for transformation and the meaning of creating community collectives and nourishing spaces.
