MOOR MOTHER + RASHEEDAH PHILLIPS: BLACK QUANTUM FUTURISM

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Indexical presents: Moor Mother--a Philadelphia artist praised as part of "a new generation of visionary black storytellers" (NYTimes)--premieres a new video followed by a discussion of Black Quantum Futurism theory and practice with her collaborator Rasheedah Phillips. Weaving through haunting slave narratives as dystopian allegory, negro spirituals, and Black ritual, Moor Mother's work points to a liberated future through Black Quantum Futurism, a project in partnership with author Rasheedah Phillips. Through a time of ecological and social disaster, she says, "I'm not saying, this is the end, we're all doomed," but rather that "I believe there is another way. So it's about trying to get the audience to understand another way of digesting the truth."

Black Quantum Futurism is co-organized with T.J. Demos of the Center for Creative Ecologies at UC Santa Cruz as part of the UCSC Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar's Beyond the End of the World research project, Indexical, and the IAS with the collaboration of The Humanities Institute and Kuumbwa Jazz Center.
