As a space conceived through rigorous scholarly dialogue, this workshop will propose a series of inquiries engaged with Black radical thought, critically examining media practices and art installations. Questioning colonial and postcolonial frameworks of being-representing, we will interrogate how dancing bodies, wounded bodies, and fantasized bodies invoke grammars that complicate the notion of the afterlife of slavery, honor pain of Black experience without succumbing to it, and challenge the idea of corporeal integrity. Processes of worlding and unworlding through fantasy, rupture, and return will be considered as ways to resist sacrificial logics as well as structures sustaining coloniality and anti-Blackness. Representational regimes will be challenged to show how they both produce and destabilize the illusion of coherent bodies, exposing operations of assemblage, substitution, and erasure. Pain will emerge as an embodied archive to be deciphered since it contains the historical violence of dehumanization and un-subjectification onto the flesh of black bodies. Such interventions will reframe the body as an unstable site where memory, resistance, and alternative modes of existence and knowledge converge beyond ways of being-representing in Western epistemologies.
