Public Lecture: \u201c<\/span>A desire to thrive beyond survival\u201d by <\/span><\/i>Yanc\u00e9-Myah Antonio Harrison
\n<\/span>25 November, <\/span>18.30\u201320.00<\/span><\/h3>\n

Please join us for a public lecture by Yanc\u00e9-Myah Antonio Harrison titled \u201cA Desire to Thrive Beyond Survival\u201d. The event will be held in English.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this lecture, Yanc\u00e9-Myah Antonio Harrison will expand on the conceptual orientations of Saidiya Hartman’s seminal book <\/span>Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Social Upheaval<\/span><\/i>. By highlighting Hartman\u2019s deep appreciation for those at the margins who carry intimate histories that manage to subvert and create while being caught in the web of control of power, Yanc\u00e9-Myah is able to connect Hartman\u2019s methodological implications to current grassroots struggles led by LGBTQ racialised and indigenous communities in the \u00d6resund region. In the current political climate, the entrenching of borders, policing and criminalisation, and the aftermaths of slavery, war and (neo)colonialism playing out across the European continent, it remains crucial to extrapolate lessons across time, space and generations to center a politics of what Hartman calls \u201c<\/span>a collective movement [that] points toward what awaits us\u2026; a glimpse of the earth not owned by anyone\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In conjunction with the public lecture, our exhibition <\/span>Reading James Baldwin<\/span><\/i> will be open for viewing from 17:00.<\/span><\/p>\n
