Скачать или смотреть What Color is Guantánamo? | Erin Thompson | TEDxColumbiaUniversity

Colors are vital, and they are powerful. The way we associate them with people can be even more so. Through the discussion of art produced at Guantanamo Bay, Erin Thompson challenges her audience to ask what color things really are. As America’s only full-time professor of art crime, I study the damage done to humanity’s shared heritage through looting, theft, and the deliberate destruction of art. I have discussed art crime topics in many venues, including The New York Times, CNN, NPR, and the Freakonomics podcast. In 2017- 18, I co-curated an exhibit of art made by detainees at Guantánamo. My book, Possession: The Curious History of Private Collectors (Yale University Press) was named an NPR Best Book of 2016. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
