Call & Response I
Black Feminist Feelings
Black Feminist Feelings is an evening of seeing, feeling, and gathering around emotions, Black feminism, and art. There are many ways to be seen as “difficult” in this Western world: stubborn, demanding, inconvenient, complex, troublesome, baffling, illegible. Black womanhood is where all of these traits converge. It is here, at the intersection of multiple oppressions, that these complexities become not just personal experiences, but also a powerful social and political force.
Where, then, do Black feelings go to roam freely? What spaces, artistic works, and strategies have Black feminist artists—both on the continent and in the Diasporas—carved out for themselves to feel freely?
Join us for an inspiring evening exploring Black ways of feeling this world, as we engage in conversation and reflection on the role of anger, love, pain, and joy as tools of refusal to simply be “good.”
