1, 8 and 15 April
These sessions explore ideas of resistance against the wider backdrop of everyday lived experiences, the continuing legacy of transatlantic enslavement today, and our relationship to the ‘Black Atlantic’ – the creation and transmission of cultures by people of the African diaspora in response to empire, colonialism and the slave trade.
Ruby Cruel is a non-profit creative space in Hackney, London whose mix of exhibitions, talks and residencies focus on artists and thinkers from the Caribbean and its diaspora. These active, participatory sessions invite you to explore ideas of resistance through the notion of a Black Atlantic – a conceptual space for limitless imagination, transmission and exchange. All welcome.
The Listening Salons have developed as part of our ongoing Future Legacies programme. Future Legacies is an online interdisciplinary community commissioning platform focused on exploring the Black Atlantic.
The aim of the platform is to foster ongoing dialogue and showcase cultural production and critique for diasporic communities, bridging the museum’s Black Atlantic: Power, People, Resistance exhibition (Sept 2023—Jan 2024) and the current Rise Up: Resistance, Revolution, Abolition exhibition. Future Legacies will examine the multiple modes of resistance and links with abolitionist networks globally, including in the UK and Cambridge.
