About Fall Semester

Fall Semester is a bi-annual series of public conversations, written contributions, digital archives, bringing together a diverse group of theorists, critics, and researchers to engage in multifaceted discourse on contemporary society and culture. Since its inception in late 2014, Fall Semester’s mission has been to reflect on global issues using Miami as the backdrop. After discussing Miami as a globalized city in 2014, we now turn to the city’s inhabitants: the incubators of Miami’s rapid change and those who are affected by these changes. Through public lectures and a digital platform, the second iteration of Fall Semester addresses the intersection of the corporeal, digital, and post-human at the axis of the self.

Fall Semester is the project of artists Felice Grodin, Odalis Valdivieso, Angela Valella, Marcos Valella, and Antonia Wright. Collectively they have developed an organizational strategy to unite the contributors’ discussions, providing a platform for both speakers and attendees.
