Join us in conversation about conjure as a practice rooted in African spiritual knowledge, familial legacy and ecological history led by Dr. Kinitra D. Brooks. Dr. Brooks specializes in the study of black women, genre fiction, and popular culture as seen in her weekly column for The Root, “The Safe Negro Guide to Lovecraft Country” and her multiple visits as a commentator on NPR’s 1A. Dr. Brooks’ current book project, Divine Conjurers: Rootwork, Resistance, and Revolution explores the unique relationship between Black women’s political subversion and Black women’s spirit work. This event continues in the yearly theme of “Black Imagination: At the Intersection of Blackness, Music, Magic and Creativity” at the Center for Black Diaspora. We hope you can join us!
