Last night I had the pleasure of listening to Dread Scott give a lecture about the many volatile topics his work addresses. He is a great speaker, and despite some unfortunate technical troubles on the part of the Old Cap staff, it was the kind of lecture that made my heart race and my blood pressure rise several times. He is radical and subversive in his work, and he takes extremes that may or may not be necessary for lasting change. He at times advocates violence, which is not my philosophy, but he demonstrated open-mindedness with me and a few others that stayed after to ask some questions.

Go see his work or his lecture if you ever get the chance!
