Event description: 

Hanif Abdurraqib and Christina Sharpe are two of the most incisive cultural critics of our time. Their work explores what it means to be and to make art as a Black person in the present, but also in the long wake of slavery and colonialism. Esteemed professor and author Daphne Brooks leads the pair in a conversation about Black artistry.
