Agnotology, the making and unmaking of Ignorance
A flier for a Livestream. There is a green background with the words 'livestream' in a funky font at the top. Lola Germs, a young white woman with dark hair, is sitting down, holding a a large book in front of her. She is looking judgmentally over her glasses at the viewer. The book has the cover of "Agnotology" by Richard Proctor superimposed on top of it, but below the Agnotology cover, the text "Hieronymus Bosch" is visible. The bottom of the flyer says "IGNORANCE".
Lola is a white woman sat in a colorful studio. She is a white woman with dark straight hair in a ponytail, wearing a peacock blue button-up shirt. She speaks into a large handheld microphone with a green windscreen and a germ logo.
THE BIRTH OF THE INSIDE/OUTSIDE STRATEGY 2 At first the development of the Inside player was natural, a product of activists pursuing personal, face-to-face contact with government officials out of desperation and necessity. Once contact was established, these activists then had to show officials that they understood the issues, could talk as peers, and could offer solutions that would elevate the officials in their own pursuits: both for the common good and in relation to their professional goals. To some extent, the success of the Inside part of this strategic approach did depend on government officials, in certain ways, taking the people in front of them seriously. Relating to them, or identifying with them with some kind of begrudging respect, had to occur for the Inside strategy to be viable.
