This event has passed.
Iâm participating in "Afrofuturism and the Law: A Symposium for Justice" on April 24th. Iâll discuss how speculative narratives can help us interrogate our legal systems. Specifically through the lens of stories like "Motherlode" and "Donât Stop, Canât Stop" from my collection MOJORHYTHM. These works extrapolate on reproductive justice, the history of legal precedent and how Black women and girls are often the first impacted - adversely - and the systemic challenges within the music industry.
The question Iâm asking is what is justice and who gets it and who doesnât.
Looking forward to exploring these intersectional topics alongside keynote speaker Dr. Reynaldo Anderson and fellow special guests Dr. Walter Greason, Ytasha L. Womack, Danian Darrell Jerry, MFA, Casarae Abdul Ghani, Dr. Aaron X Smith, Stacey Robinson (creator of the visual art for this symposium) and Bennett Capers, and more. --Sheree Renee Thomas
