Season of Black Study II
In The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study, Harney and Moten describe study as:
“It’s talking and walking around with other people, working, dancing, suffering…The point of calling it ‘study’ is to mark that the incessant and irreversible intellectuality of these activities is already present.
“These activities aren’t ennobled by the fact that we now say, “oh, if you did these things in a certain way, you could be said to be have been studying.” To do these things is to be involved in a kind of common intellectual practice. What’s important is to recognize that that has been the case – because that recognition allows you to access a whole, varied, alternative history of thought.”. 110 The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning & Black Study, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten. Minor Compostions 2013.
There is an intellect at work in our artistic practice. In Season of Black Study 2 we explore the coalitional, co-operative and collective critique of Western Civilization from those who must study and practice within its terms. These seminars are for anyone who wishes to appreciate, and join in its significance for a less neo-colonial future; whether your access to Black Study is through the brown, the decolonial, the neurodivergent, whether you find black affinities with your class struggle, gender battles or variously abled superpowers, if you can move with it, tremble with it, let it break you out of abstraction and shake some non-censored sense into you, then you can be with us in Black Study.
