*Please note, this event will be held at Van Pelt-Dietrich Library, Room 602
In conjunction with The Legacy of 1619: The 2019 Callaloo Annual Conference and Colored People Time: Banal Presents, this session will experiment with the traditional panel format through performative interventions. Rather than speaking solely about entanglement, what new possibilities might emerge if the mode of speaking moves through and performs entanglement? As the third and final chapter of Colored People Time comes to a close, this performance-panel will reflect on the impossibility to delineate time within discrete frames and will acknowledge the past, present, and future as continuous and inseparable. Layering voices, texts, and materials, the panelists will collaboratively produce an entangled musing on the chaos of our collective interrelations, and will be followed by a conversation on entanglement as it arises in creative and critical practices.
