[email protected] is presenting a second public event for Gil’s visit: ‘Broadband: a conversation with Gilberto Gil’, Mr. Gil will discuss his thoughts on some of the issues that arise when culture intersects with technology and politics.
A group of local researchers and activists will be asking Gil specific questions about issues related to networked communities, technologies of inclusion, governing the Internet, cultural development and Web 2.0. Gil will also take questions from the audience and, when a jazz musician such as Gil takes centre stage the script is only a guideline, so the discussion is very unlikely to be constrained by these themes.
