Featuring Royston Maldoon, a pioneer in the field of Community Dance.

Black feminism in Britain has its roots in the de/postcolonial activism of women migrants of African and Asian descent. In this performance-lecture, Nydia Swaby uses still and moving images, organizational records, newsletters, flyers, and other ephemera to examine the curation of a Black feminist narrative in the archive, while engaging ethnography as a Black feminist archival practice.

Featuring Ingo Reulecke, whose ongoing projects in Afghanistan and in a Berlin vocational school will guide the discussion and practice.

In 2014, Time announced that the United States had reached a “Transgender Tipping Point” whereby a newfound media visibility of trans women of color such as Laverne Cox and Janet Mock would pave the way for an unceasingly bright future for trans and gender diverse people. In the five years since that article was released, however, the Trump Administration and several conservative state governments have rolled back legislative protections for trans people in schools, the military, housing, public accommodations, prisons, bureaucratic identification, and employment. How can history help to contextualize and explain this turn of events? What lessons can we learn about women’s activism by looking to historical struggles?
