| 6:00pm | Keynote Speaker: Greil Marcus
To think critically about contemporary culture and resistance is to marshal the writings of Greil Marcus. With his famous 1989 book Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the 20th Century, Marcus transmitted some of the most subversive channels of art, music, literature, film, and politics into mainstream hearing without turning the offensive volume down one notch.
