Black Talk

Black Talk: Hanif Abdurraqib & Antonio Michael Downing on Art and Identity

Textile's inaugural fall literary event on Sept. 27 will feature readings and a critical discussion on shaping identity, the weight of excellence as expectation, and the relationship between the arts and culture, space and place, and Black life.

How are Black lives archived in Waterloo Region? What can nostalgia teach us? How do we protect Black futures from genrtification? What do we get wrong about Black masculinity and basketball? How does Blackness flourish in a techno-racist economy?
