Join us for Shades of Discourse, an event series that brings together young Black organizers, creatives, and scholars to build radical futures. The event will feature a social hour, panel discussion, and live art session centered on the theme: A Seat at Whose Table: Representation, Elite Capture, and the Search for Black Liberation.
What’s happening to Black representation right now? Why are so many of our “representatives” in culture and politics drifting from the communities that raised them? What alternative models of power might also serve us?
Pull up, let’s figure it out together.
Through art, discussion, and community exchange, we’ll explore what true representation looks like, and when it becomes a release valve instead of a tool for change.
