Event Summary
This online talk will offer an insight into Dr Ama Josephine Budge Johnstones’ intradisciplinary research around the topic of Intimate Ecologies, a framework for holding together Blackness, ecology, pleasure and queer futurity.
Event Description
In the face of ever-worsening Climate Colonialism, Ama remains compelled by the importance of insisting on what becomes possible when we think Blackness and the more-than-human together in pleasurable and decolonial ways, as opposed to the violent models of extraction, displacement, plantation economies and dehumanisation which are often offered to us as the only ways of relating to our ecologies. Intimate Ecologies argues that we must reclaim these narratives of Black pasts and presents in order to speculate and manifest liberatory futures for the most oppressed first, prioritising not only the survival of entangled Black and Indigenous ecosystems, but our thrivation. This session will include storytelling, visioning exercises and time for questions and collective reflection.
