INFRASTRUCTURES OF RACISM
AND THE CONTOURS OF BLACK VITALITY AND RESISTANCE
International conference | Turin March 23-25, 2023

This conference explores the continuing and systemic infrastructures of racism in the United States. Relatedly, we want to emphasize conceptualizations of abolitionist futures, alternative arrangements and modes of existence that build on well-established praxes rooted in Black vitality, joy, and worldmaking.

 

The Conference is held in the new building of the Dipartimento di Lingue e Letterature Straniere e Culture Moderne, just off Via Po, in the heart of the city center.
