Join us at our public forum, Unmonument Atlanta, on displacement, spirituality, and the forest, Friday, Sept. 26th! Co-hosted by Emanuel Admassu (), Lauren Tate Baeza (), Nikishka Iyengar (), Zoe Samudzi (), Too Black (), Rasul Mowatt (.i.am), and Tonika Johnson ().
This public forum is grounded in questions around how the spatial relations between blackness and the environment are rendered—from the mythical connotations of the forest (the woods) to the devaluation and abandonment of black homes (the trap). We will also explore alternative ontologies and African/Afro Diasporic conceptual frames that could help dissolve the autonomy of bodies and space. Through this public forum, Unmonument Atlanta: Animist Unconscious invites the public to imagine new futures for Black spatiality rooted in stewardship, resistance, and the continual re-enchantment of the world.
Free RSVP! All who join are encouraged to participate in the conversation, as it is highly necessary to hold more spaces during this time that protect critical discourses. Wine and snacks will be available.
