Sara Kerr is an artist and philosopher who is very interested in temporality. Specifically, she is interested in how the devices that we use to measure time actually work and how they fail us. Why is clock time so different from lived and experienced time? Why do some moments feels so long and others, so short? What is nostalgia? Why does capitalism (or post capitalist society) thrive on speed? How do we slow down? These are some of the things that Sara will be thinking about and exploring at Queens Collective...
