A lecture by Bayo Akomolafe

In this talk, Nigerian author Bayo Akomolafe will tell the story of how bodies matter and emerge - from the Yoruba metaphysics of intersectionality and transcorporeality, discuss the idea of onto-epistemo-axiological notion of transraciality, draw on some readings of modernity, and invite a revisiting of what it means to be black/white/coloured in a world that is still emerging.

“An Outrage” is a powerful new documentary film by Hannah Ayers and Lance Warren that takes a fearless look at lynching in the American South. Lynching, the unlawful murder of individuals witnessed by mobs, was at its most endemic in the 1890s, when one African American was killed in the South every four days. Filmed at actual lynching sites in six states, “An Outrage” shines a bright light on this dark chapter of American history, made tangible through the memories and thoughts of descendants of lynching victims, community activists, and scholars.
