Collaboratorium Events

---

The Radical Practice of Black Curation engages the past, present, and future of Black curation as a practice that exceeds the urgent but constraining question of making and exhibiting art in a time of “racial reckoning.” The symposium assembles an influential, emerging transnational group of curators of color to reflect on their collaborative curatorial practice and the ways such collaborations are opening up vibrant new spaces in the contemporary art world. April 11 at Princeton; April 12 at Park Avenue Armory. Open to public; tickets required.

In this conversation, Dionne Brand, Francoise Vergès, Canisia Lubrin, Christina Sharpe, and Tina Campt will discuss the work of The Practicing Refusal Collective and the Sojourner Project on their collaborative publication: Think/ing from Black: A Lexicon, a book that imagines a set of words, terms and practices from some of the manifold positions of blackness that locate and animate black life. Open to public.

A conversation between longtime collaborators artist Torkwase Dyson and poet Canisia Lubrin and 2023 Collaborators-in-Residence Dionne Brand and Christina Sharpe. Reflecting on their ongoing projects, the discussion will be a wide-ranging meditation on the poetics of relation, questions of influence and collectivity, and the work of art and literature in the contemporary world. Open to public.
