Event overview
This event has been CANCELLED. Lola Olufemi has withdrawn from this talk in solidarity for the strikers and workers facing redundancies at Goldsmiths.
Think of how a circle, rounded lines from a fixed point, seems to keep going and going. That could be key to our method.
Using an experimental mode, this presentation will explore ongoing research related to the utility, location and efficacy of the imagination in black cultural production in the UK, with a specific focus on the relationship between imagining, political organising and temporality. It will use the archive as basis for an argument against chronology in order to illustrate the affective possibilities inherent in temporal chaos, fragmentation and an iterative orientation to the past/present/future.
Lola Olufemi is a black feminist writer and CREAM/Stuart Hall foundation researcher from London based at the University of Westminster. Her work focuses on the uses of the feminist imagination and its relationship to cultural production, political demands and futurity. She is author of Feminism Interrupted: Disrupting Power (Pluto Press, 2020), Experiments in Imagining Otherwise (Hajar Press, 2021) and a member of 'bare minimum', an interdisciplinary anti-work arts collective.
