Description

This seminar is an experiment in reclaiming a small patch of the university as a space for studying with ancestors. Reflects on how practices of ancestral relation have informed anti-colonial rebellions and subsequent struggles against racial capitalism. Also investigates how European colonial modernity reproduces itself through the brutal regulation of ancestral knowledge. A transnational archive of art, seed, film, and social theory guides students in thinking collectively about their own practices of study?and how they might channel or divert the currents of the past.

Enrollment Requirements
