SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Talk: "Afropessimism" by Frank B. Wilderson III
DESCRIPTION:The Ackland Art Museum has postponed this program as part of our response to the spread of coronavirus COVID-19 and based on recommendations from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Any additional updates will be posted on the Museum’s website. \n\n\n\nWith the narrative drive of a captivating novel\, and the intellectual rigor of critical theory at its best\, Afropessimism illustrates how Black death\, both real and symbolic\, is necessary for the material and psychic life of the Human species—and not just White people.  Few writers have the courage to set fire to the world while soaked in kerosene. Frank B. Wilderson III is one of them. Here is the match. Some readers will experience Afropessimism as a high wire act between rage and paranoia. Others will welcome it as a breath of sanity. \nPresented in connection with ART& Intergalactic Soul: Project LHAXX. Sponsored by the Carolina Seminar for Afrofuturism\, Black Optimism\, and Afropessimism and the Ackland Art Museum.
