1-54 Forum New York

4- 6 May 2018

No Sweetness Here

This panel brings together voices and perspectives that pertain to African women’s liberation and provide a complex vision of ‘African feminism’. Rooted in both recent and past liberatory practices, the speakers present artworks and provocations that resist the legacy of political and legal subjection of African women’s bodies and sexualities. With artist Phoebe Boswell, artist and activist Babirye Leilah and philosopher and art historian Nkiru Nzegwu. Moderated by writer Serubiri Moses.
