Virtual Conversations on the Role of the Radical Imaginary
Virtual Conversations on the Role of the Radical Imaginary
Additional Details
In this series of virtual conversations, we bring together visual artists, scholars, composers, activists, writers, and others to explore what kinds of radical imaginaries can unfold in this moment of pandemic, racial reckoning, economic uncertainty, civil unrest, and environmental crisis. How do we think about what is possible? How can we use our imaginations to build a better present/future? How can we attend to the past in service of the future? And how can we retool and build better more equitable models for living and working together?

Episode 16: Grammar of Grief
Description
Join visual artist Indira Allegra in conversation with curator Erin Christovale as they discuss quiet and interiority as spaces for discovery and open-ended imagining. We’ll explore Indira’s work and scholarship using weaving as a methodology, including their latest research into how we can re-conceptualize the spaces between textile threads as grief-portals. Indira will also discuss their ongoing work exploring memorial as a genre and a vital part of the human experience, and their latest project, Grammar of Grief, a series of performances and a handbook that reimagines how we can process and memorialize bereavement, through actions of writing, sound-making and physical movement. We’ll consider how we can move forward with our experiences of grief and loss without binary/all-or-nothing narratives.
