On March 6, be a part of this critical exploration of white settlement and the shapes it proliferates to keep itself aloft. This conversation, hosted and held with philosopher Alex Forrester as part of the continuation of Dr. Akomolafe’s W. E. B. Du Bois Scholar-in-Residence Fellowship with the Schumacher Center for a New Economics, is ultimately about blackness. Not the Blackness that settles, but the blackness that unravels the settled. Becoming unsettled is becoming black. It is not taking on a new colour; it is being rendered unrenderable by asystemic forces that sidle the logics of settlement; it is how we name the fugitive and apophatic forces that refuse the frightening valour and magisterial decree of Eden that all of creation be still, once and for all. Join us at the tinkering edges of our shared unravelling. Link in bio to register (for free!). (fb)
