Françoise Vergès (5/5): Future

from Invitation to the Species Hosted by Invitation to the Species

Political thinker and activist Françoise Vergès leads “Decolonize the Arts,” a collective whose aim is to question and critique the art world’s white-framed structures and increasing disparity. In conversation with Sarah Riggs and Omar Berrada, co-leaders of Tamaas/Earth Arts Justice, Vergès discusses everything from the relationship between bananas, racism, sex and capitalism to decolonial feminism, and the representation of blackness and otherness, or lack thereof, in films, plays, galleries and museums. Recorded at FiveMyles in Brooklyn on February 28, 2020.
