Coalition, Comparativism, Community

Friday, April 8 – Saturday, April 9, 2022

Join us for a two-day symposium with scholars, poets, and visual artists who think through racial justice in a global frame. How does comparativism shape and transform their work? What are the challenges and revelations on the path toward coalition and community? What can we learn from one another’s art, writing, and multimedia projects to develop a shared, planetary praxis toward antiracist futures?
