How dystopian art helps us understand Minnesota
Jay Smooth, hip-hop broadcaster and culture critic, offers media and propaganda analysis. El Jones, poet and politics professor, links race, protest and scholarship. Lyz Lenz, Midwestern author and reporter, describes on-the-ground Minnesota scenes. They discuss surveillance, who controls images, how dystopian touchstones like 1984 shape meaning, and the power and limits of violent or viral footage.
