“Combat Breathing Vol. II: A Symposium on Aesthetics and Politics” is a multisite platform, spanning film screenings, critical discussions, and focused workshops, that unfolds throughout October 2026 at Anthology Film Archives, New York University, and Wendy's Subway. Responding to the current geopolitical juncture, it asks what roles artistic and intellectual production, circulation, and collective study might assume amid intensifying imperial violence and renewed global mobilizations. In an era when audiovisual technologies are increasingly deployed to discipline collective imagination and stabilize statist and capitalist power, the symposium responds by foregrounding insurgent poetics, militant pedagogy, and autonomous infrastructures of media production, distribution, and reception.
