MFA Products of Design Guest Lecture: Pune Dracker (D-Crit Class of 2021) – SVA MA Design Research

MFA Products of Design Guest Lecture: Pune Dracker (D-Crit Class of 2021)

MFA Products of Design at the School of Visual Arts is thrilled to open to the public our upcoming Guest Lecture titled Scratch That by researcher and writer Pune Dracker (MA Design Research, Writing and Criticism Class of 2021).

Scratch That: About four billion dollars’ worth of instant lottery tickets are sold in New York State alone every year. Who’s playing, and why? We’ll dig into the tools, technologies, and material culture of these quotidian objects to find an alternative moral and economic community.

RSVP to join the livestream of our remote talk on Tuesday, April 12th at 1:00 PM EST

Attendees will receive a Zoom link via email in advance of the lecture. Please check your inbox for details.
