About the event
Our dominant perception of time and the future owes more to Western history and social order than to any fact of nature. This lecture challenges traditional notions of history, causality, and narrative, opening a space for reparative temporal and spatial practices and showing examples of how time and space can be reclaimed and restructured. Through Afrodiasporic conceptions of time, where past, present, and future interact across numerous constellations, Rasheedah Phillips considers how we might imagine and inhabit other possible paths toward reparative SpaceTimes.
