An Esquisses Talk by Nicole De Brabandere, Postdoctoral fellow, IGSF and Moving Image Research Lab, and the University of Chicago. In this research presentation, De Brabandere will engage colour to amplify how diverse techniques and practices including language and cinema weave movements of thought are nonlinear, partial and situated. Her aim is to make felt the way latent knowledges come to the surface of thought and articulation in heterogeneous and uneven ways, informing further world-making potentials. Following the talk/discussion there will be a reading group around the concepts of opacity, errancy and fugitivity after Édouard Glissant, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten. The aim will be to unpack the complexities of working with the poetics and politics of the black radical tradition in practices that evolve through media and material gestures.
