In Praise of Black Performance
Hanif Abdurraqib and Christina Sharpe are two of the most incisive cultural critics of our time. Their work explores what it means to be and to make art as a Black person in the present, but also in the long wake of slavery and colonialism. Esteemed professor and author Daphne Brooks leads the pair in a conversation about Black artistry.
