Event overview
Lecture by Dr Khairani Barokka followed by a Q&A chaired by Dr Akanksha Mehta. Part of the CARE Conversations 2020 event series.
The systems' bugs are their features by design.
Dr Khairani Barokka will present a lecture and Q and A on dismantling racist ableism as integral to the dismantling of white supremacy, and on anti colonialism as anti-ableism. With a specific focus on tackling these supremacisms as manifest in colonial, extractive structures of arts education, transnational flows of violence that impact us on the bodymind level, and on communal strategies for forging resistances to myriad, persistent violences.
