Reading Session: Talk ���˴�Ƭ a Little Culture

Date & Time: 27 November, 12:00–4:00 pm
Location: Ban Righ Centre, 32 Bader Lane.

Informal conversation facilitated by Katherine McKittrick, Professor of Gender Studies and Canada Research Chair in Black Studies, and Nasrin Himada, Associate Curator of Academic Outreach and Community Engagement that focuses on anti-colonial theory, reading and writing, and working closely with Sylvia Wynter’s 1967 essay, “We Must Learn to Sit Down Together and Talk ���˴�Ƭ a Little Culture.” The session is structured to balance collaborative reading, with quiet time allocated to read the essay, followed by an organic and multi-vocal conversation about key themes, theories, literatures and formats that shape the exhibition, A Smile Split by the Stars.

Participants receive the essay in advance—it is highly recommended participants read the text beforehand. The reading group has availability for 25 people, with 10 spaces reserved for graduate students of Black Studies, Indigenous Studies, studies of Palestine, or cognate areas. Refreshments will be provided. Presented in partnership with the Ban Righ Centre.
