ANTIPODES: A POETRY READING WITH YVETTE CHRISTIANSË AND ROSALIND MORRIS

Award-winning poets and writers, Yvette Christiansë (“Castaway”, “Imprendehora”, “Unconfessed”), and Rosalind Morris (“The Deep”, “Current”), read from new and published works. Both writers move deftly between their research in archives and far-flung worlds linked by colonialism, especially in southern Africa, and their personal experiences, while meditating on the unspoken and the unseen. Bridging the intimate and the world-historical in forms that range from the lyric to the verse epic, their work, which includes collaborations on two operas, gives form to the haunted present with urgency and careful beauty.

Prof. Kim F. Hall appears  in the exhibition catalogue, in a "tri-interview" entitled "On Critical Indigenous Studies and Early Modern Critical Race Studies" with Laura Lehua Yim and Scott Manning Stevens, for the groundbreaking exhibit, Seeing Race Before Race, at The Newberry Library in Chicago. The exhibit runs from September to December 8, 2023. It examines the roots of race from the Middle Ages to 1800.  This summer Tapiwa Gambura (BC '24), who was a student in Prof. Hall's Africana Studies Race Before Race seminar, worked with the exhibit team to develop outreach materials as part of her Laidlaw project.
