Thursday 3 March

Carla Liesching joins artist and educator Pablo Lerma and writer and photographer Kelsey Sucena for a discussion of her new book, Good Hope. They explore the book's visual and textual strategies, from the sourcing and sequencing of found materials to its branching extensions in sculpture and installation, as well as the issues of racial justice and decolonial activism raised by its interrogation of colonialism past and present.

To celebrate her new book White Shoes, join Nona Faustine in conversation with writers and book contributors Jessica Lanay, Pamela Sneed, and Seph Rodney. They will explore New York City's once-pivotal involvement in the slave trade, the politics of representation and visibility, and the historical figures who inspired Faustine's own work.
