Think from Black: a Lexicon, at JAG / Part I

Public programme, Saturday 28th January 2023
This curated offering of sonic, performative and poetic responses formed part of ‘Think from Black: a Lexicon’, a transnational convening presented by the Centre for the Study of Race, Gender & Class (RGC), in collaboration with the Practicing Refusal Collective. Hosted by the Johannesburg Art Gallery and @occupation.jag, the programme featured readings and art activations by Canisia Lubrin, Gabrielle Goliath, Danai Mupotsa, Christina Sharpe and Nelisiwe Xaba. This video (Part I) features readings by Canisia Lubrin and Danai Mupotsa.
‘Think from Black: A Lexicon’ is imagined as a collective effort to create a more expansive conceptual vocabulary that takes Black life - in all of its diversity and multiplicity - as its point of departure.
