SUMMARY:Online Live Keynote and Discussion: Daphne Brooks\, "'I Traveled Seventy States': Solange & the Poetics of Black Feminist Sonic Alterity"
DESCRIPTION:Where and how will we build safe spaces for ourselves? Can we cultivate shelter for one another in this era in which we are hyperaware of chronic racial surveillance\, the casual acceptance of misogyny\, and quotidian micro-aggressions? And how might we jealously hold onto and rediscover the glory in our own bodies when those bodies are sites of perpetual precarity and intensely spectacular vulnerability? These are just some of the questions that Solange both poses and seeks to answer on her breakthrough masterpiece of an album\, 2016’s A Seat At the Table. This lecture explores the politics and poetics of spatiality that Solange designs in both her stirring sonic universe and her luminous accompanying visual repertoire. It considers the myriad ways in which Black feminist theories of space and place figure prominently in her twenty-first century Black freedom struggle project\, and it interrogates the radial ways that this brilliant artist stages scenes of dazzling Black privacy in the midst of a fraught and perilous public sphere. \nDaphne A. Brooks is William R. Kenan\, Jr. Professor of African American Studies\, American Studies\, Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies\, and Music at Yale University. She is the author of Bodies in Dissent: Spectacular Performances of Race and Freedom\, 1850-1910 (Durham\, NC: Duke UP\, 2006)\, winner of The Errol Hill Award for Outstanding Scholarship on African American Performance from ASTR; Jeff Buckley’s Grace (New York: Continuum\, 2005) and Liner Notes for the Revolution: The Intellectual Life of Black Feminist Sound (Harvard University\, February 2021). \nBrooks has authored numerous articles on race\, gender\, performance and popular music culture\, such as “Sister\, Can You Line It Out?: Zora Neale Hurston & the Sound of Angular Black Womanhood” in Amerikastudien/American Studies\, “‘Puzzling the Intervals’: Blind Tom and the Poetics of the Sonic Slave Narrative” in The Oxford Handbook of the African American Slave Narrative\, “Nina Simone’s Triple Play” in Callaloo and “‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’: Surrogation & Black Female Soul Singing in the Age of Catastrophe” in Meridians. She is also the author of the liner notes for The Complete Tammi Terrell (Universal A&R\, 2010) and Take a Look: Aretha Franklin Complete on Columbia (Sony\, 2011)\, each of which has won the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for outstanding music writing\, and her liner notes essay for Prince’s Sign O’ The Times deluxe box set was published in fall of 2020. She is the editor of The Great Escapes: The Narratives of William Wells Brown\, Henry Box Brown\, and William Craft (New York: Barnes & Noble Classics\, 2007) and The Performing Arts volume of The Black Experience in the Western Hemisphere Series\, eds. Howard Dodson and Colin Palmer (New York: Pro-Quest Information & Learning\, 2006). From 2016-2018\, she served as the co-editor of the 33 1/3 Sound: Short Books About Albums series published by Bloomsbury Press. She is the co-founder and co-director of Yale University’s Black Sound & the Archive Working Group\, a 320 York Humanities Initiative. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Nation\, The Guardian\, Pitchfork\, and other press outlets. \nBrooks is currently editing an anthology of essays forthcoming from Duke University Press and culled from Blackstar Rising & The Purple Reign: Celebrating the Legacies of David Bowie and Prince\, an international 3-day conference and concert which she curated.

SUMMARY:Online Video Keynote: Grace Gipson\, "What's Your RPG Fantasy?: Let's Talk Blackness\, Politics\, and Gaming"
DESCRIPTION:“Black Lives Matter” is not just a phrase or way of thinking as it relates to police brutality and racist violence towards Black life\, but also necessary in the fantasy and gaming realm. Much like any other art form or popular medium\, the world of gaming and fantasy must be open to having a talk about its history of racial and cultural insensitivity\, regardless of the pushback. \nGrace D. Gipson\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor in the department of African American Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond\, VA). As a Black future feminist/pop culture scholar\, Dr. Gipson’s area of research interest centers on black popular culture\, digital humanities\, representations of race and gender within comic books\, Afrofuturism\, and race and new media. \nGrace’s work has been featured in various publications and book chapters in such outlets as Huffington Post\, NPR.org and Black Perspectives. Her current book project seeks to explore Black female identities as personified in comics and fandom culture. A second project examines how online Black female academic and popular networks produce cultural and technical capital\, which act as safe spaces that showcase\, interrogate\, and celebrate the blending of popular culture and the academy. \nOutside the classroom\, you can find Grace collecting comic books and stamps on her international travel discoveries\, participating as part of the #BlackComicsChat podcast crew and giving back to the community through a myriad of projects and organizations. You can also follow her on Twitter @GBreezy20. \n\nThis prerecorded keynote address will be available on Wednesday\, February 24\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Bread and Puppet Theater Presents: The Essential Furthermore
DESCRIPTION:The Essential Furthermore draws on the German peasant rebellions of the 14 and 15 hundreds to address the need for insurrection against the status quo of planetary ecological collapse\, and hostility to the refugees created by natural and human-made disasters. The show demonstrates the power of mass political and social movements with massive dances in Bread and Puppet’s pedestrian expressionist “Lubberland” style\, building momentum as the piece grows into a polyvocal fugue on several crucial themes of the moment: totalitarianism\, extinction\, and “the normalization of the unthinkable.” \n-UMF Student Admission: Free (Reservations recommended: please reserve your free ticket by contacting Ann Bartges [ann.bartges@maine.edu]) \n-General Admission: $10-$25 (no one turned away for lack of funds)–Advance tickets available for purchase at Up Front and Pleasant Gourmet\, 157 Front St.\, Farmington ME 04938
