@ Northwestern University Black Arts Consortium

Opening Friday, February 5th, from 3PM - 5:30PM
Please join the Northwestern University Black Arts Consortium for a symposium on “Black Caribbean Waters: Decolonizing the Archive” This is the second symposium in Northwestern’s yearlong Sawyer Seminar: “The Black Arts Archive: The Challenge of Translation.”
Supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Northwestern’s 2020-2021 Sawyer Seminar will include a series of symposiums, graduate courses, and a summer institute focusing on various archives of Black arts across the African Diaspora. The project emphasizes three regions: Chicago, the Caribbean (Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Haiti), and South Africa. With the goal of generating a sustained conversation over the course of the year, “The Black Arts Archive: The Challenge of Translation” Sawyer Seminar will feature a series of visiting artists and scholars from the three regions who will engage the theme of translation and the archive.
