ANVC/Scalar core team members Craig Dietrich, Alexei Taylor and Tara McPherson recently attended the International Association of Visual Culture conference at NYU.   “Now! Visual Culture,” a participation event, was held at New York University, May 31-June 2 2012. Its goal was to showcase as broad and diverse a range of visual culture practice as possible in order to create a snapshot of the field of visual culture as it is practiced from Cape Town to California.  There was a strong emphasis on the relationship of visual culture to activism, organizing, and protest.  Craig, Alexei and Tara led a Scalar workshop and roundtable, while Tara also participated in roundtables on Feminism and Visual Culture and the Future of Publishing.  The event  marked the live debut of organizer Nicholas Mirzoeff’s Scalar project, We Are All Children of Algeria.
