Michael Belmore Joins Hart House Discussion - Exploring Black and Indigeous Futurisms

Michael Belmore will participate in Exploring Black and Indigenous Futurisms 2022 Edition: Rock as Witness alongside Quentin VerCetty, Dr. Karyn Recollet and Dr. Audrey Hudson.

Monday Feb 28th 6-8pm. Free virtual presentation.

Presented in partnership with the AGO, this year’s U of T Hart House event will ground us firmly in the earth as we excavate its metals and materials to examine our close knit ancestral history of African and Indigenous mythology and meaning making.

Overview
We invite you into this conversation to create a welcoming space and a critical cypher while we envision a speculative visitation that blends the inner knowledge of all four of our panelists together to create new meaning and new worlds.
This discussion is meant to support Afro-Indigenous thinking and challenges us to recognize the solidarity of these communities and the intertwining nature of rock as their foundation.
We ask that you to hold space for rock as witness, kin, and relation as we ponder what our relations with rock, stone, sediment and fire make possible, how will AI make new textures and what wisdom both past and present will lie within these new materials?
