“Black: Here and Now” invites interdisciplinary engagement with various forms of Black life and cultural expression. Bringing together visual artists and scholars from Philosophy, Black Studies, and visual and literary studies, this conference examines the significance of Blackness in identity, art, music, and time-based media.

The symposium explores a range of questions: What are the relationships between the histories of imperialism, enslavement, and global representations of Blackness? What does putting Afro-Latinidad in conversation with the post-soul/post-black concept reveal about the meaning of Blackness in the contemporary moment? How do forms of black visual culture challenge what we perceive to be legitimate forms of knowledge?
