In addition to Z and Alonso, the program will present video content of works and introductions by Anthony Cheung, inti figgis-vizueta, Donal Fox, and Alba Potes. The event will begin at 4 p.m. (Pacific time) on Saturday, January 30. All tickets are being sold for $10, purchased through an Eventbrite event page.
