we will be working with the idea that to be Black and within the confines of the imperial core is to be fugitive
considering fugitivity as:
a modality of radical reclaiming of selfhood within empire
a rejection, as commitment to non-participation, whether by disruption or evasion
a politic, a guide, an ancestral creative pathway to surviving change and collapse
unemployment as a state of fugitivity,
statelessness and migration as fugitivity
homelessness as a state of fugitivity.
covid-cautiousness as fugitivity
fugitivity as the opposite of captivity
to escape abuse and artificiality
i’m still in the process of throwing it together, but the plan is that we’ll have a weekly workshop series grounding the series, as well as a couple of panels, an interview or two, and some mbongis (collective storysharing) for Black folks
and we shall raise funds for our Black & fugitive kin who will be sharing their wisdom, strategies, and insight into their ways of moving through the world!!
