Surveillance in America

A conversation about surveillance targeting Brown people in America - first, Dr. Hatem Bazian discusses the Department of Homeland Security’s new “Shared Responsibility Committees,” which bring the FBI and local law enforcement together with mental health and other city and school programs and social workers to report on suspicious behavior. Then, we speak with Hasan Elahi, an interdisciplinary artist whose was profiled by the FBI and created artwork from the surveillance experience. Hasan's work examines issues of surveillance, citizenship, migration, transport, and borders and frontiers.
