Nottingham Contemporary

Available to book from Tue 13 Apr.

Study Sessions are informal and intimate discussion groups. This study session opens out the ideas and themes of our exhibitions and research strand Sonic Continuum and explores how black feminist authors and thinkers reconceptualise voice, performativity and community against patriarchal and racial oppression.

By discussing their radical aspirations and concurrent approaches to gender, race and class, our study sessions explore the global critiques, poetic tactics, and relational political projects of black women writers, and ask: how might we articulate alternative social and political formations?

This session is led by Black Studies PhD candidate, Keisha Bruce and dwells on the work of American writer, feminist, womanist, librarian, and civil rights activist, Audre Lorde.
