Tuning into the Quantum: A Vibrational Exchange Between Karen Barad and Black Quantum Futurism
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join renowned interdisciplinary theorist Prof. Karen Barad and visionary artists, Rasheedah Phillips and Camae Ayewa of Black Quantum Futurism, for an evening of conversation and sound exploring material quantum temporalities.
Through the lens of their practice and in celebration of shared points of convergence, Rasheedah and Karen reclaim the radical potential contained within quantum physics. In doing so they trouble the dominant narratives and violence shaping the present, from the next iteration of quantum technologies to Black experience and life more broadly. Accompanied by sound created by Camae, Karen and Rasheedah will highlight the im/possibility for erasure and how the past and future can be redeemed within the present.
This event is curated by Lucy Rose Sollitt as part of the Troubling Quantum talks series, commissioned by the Goethe Institut in San Francisco, London and Beijing for their Living in a Quantum State programme. Tuning into the Quantum takes place with the generous partnership of the Gray Area.
