Open Signal and Lower Boom awarded (5) $1000 stipends to 5 NW storytellers to help facilitate the creation of original work reflecting/commenting on the concept of Post-Truth.

WHAT IS POST-TRUTH?

Oxford Dictionaries selected “Post-Truth” as 2016’s international word of the year, after the contentious “Brexit” referendum and an equally divisive U.S. presidential election caused usage of the adjective to skyrocket, according to the Oxford University Press.

The dictionary defines “post-truth” as “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.”

POST-TRUTH PREMIERE

The completed Post-Truth projects will be shown Friday, November 3rd at Open Signal. Click here to RSVP to the event.
