 ***Beyond spectacular displays of brutality, what counts as violence in Greece and Mexico? What constitutes intimacy when violence and its aftermath have become a familiar presence? How should we, as scholars and image-makers, engage with the delicate task of representing intimacy with violence in a world where we bear witness to the “cruel images” (Toukan 2019) emerging from Gaza, Sudan, the US, and beyond?***

 ***During this two-day international conference, between film screenings and conversations, we will explore these critical questions to understand the ways in which violence looms in our lives. Join us to rethink the intersections of intimacy and violence.***
