Revisiting Soweto, Tulsa & Juneteenth

“Bittersweet”_Workshop #1

This is the 1st in a three-part series of workshops, titled Blk Freedom_Blk Time / Soweto, Tulsa & Juneteenth. Each workshop presents an opportunity to reflectively revisit and critically rethink the seminal historic and political moments of the Soweto Uprising, the Tulsa Massacre, and Juneteenth. In the intimate context of these workshop gatherings we hope to both commemorate Black lives relegated to the death worlds of racial slavery, apartheid and white supremacy, and reaffirm (or reimagine) the possibilities of Black Freedom/Black Time

In each workshop, a group of invited guests will present an object of their choosing - an ornament, artwork, film, song or text - and reflect on the ways in which it animates key concepts or practices they associate with these histories of struggle, loss and aspiration, and their resonance in the present. These interactive sessions will call for active participation and discussion in an affirming community context.
