Black Queer Dance Aesthetics: In the Case of Atlanta
SLIPPAGE is thrilled to announce the third gathering of researchers for the Black Dance and Geography of Freedoms project, supported by the Mellon Foundation. On Friday and Saturday, September 27 and 28 2024, researchers will gather on the campus of Spelman College in Atlanta Georgia to explore Black Queer Dance Aesthetics: In the Case of Atlanta.
The event has been overseen and coordinated by Dr. Webster McDonald, currently a postdoctoral affiliate in the SLIPPAGE lab. McDonald has assembled an impressive line-up of speakers and events, including presentations by Spelman faculty Julie B. Johnson, Cici Kelley, and Ra/Malika. The event will also include a walking tour of landmark Black queer social sites in the city. Learn more here.
