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.
