  Laura Poitras: Surveillance Teach-In
  with Jacob Appelbaum & Special Guests
  Friday, April 20, 2012  7:30 PM TODAY
  Lower Gallery

  Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras explores issues of war,
  justice, and power. Her current film trilogy, focusing on America
  post 9/11, documents the Iraq War, secret state surveillance, and
  the suspension of the rule of law in the "war on terror".  For
  this evening program, she is joined by Jacob Appelbaum, computer
  security researcher, privacy advocate, hacker, and human rights
  activist. Woven through the Museum will be interactive
  installations by Stimulate. The Surveillance Teach-In is an
  artistic and practical commentary on living in the contemporary
  Panopticon.

  Free with Museum admission, which is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays
  from 6-9 pm; there are no special tickets or reservations.
