Guilty Until Proven Innocent: An Audience with Whitley Strieber

Faked/Out features a series of writing workshops, guest speakers, and film screenings that will contextualize fake news within a significant, cross-disciplinary tradition of fakeness and will create opportunities for visitors to alternately interrogate and experiment with the practice of faking it in their own lives.

Event Description: Legendary author Whitley Strieber is an expert on the paranormal, UFOs, and high strangeness. His landmark book Communion is regarded as one of the premiere texts about alien encounters.
