Blackness as a form\, concept and experience\ , has fundamentally shaped American iconographies\, language\, media\, and cultural productions. This series invites us to consider Blackness as both a culture and a mode of thinking. This series will meditate on the structur es of race in North America and will spotlight the seemingly disconnected f orms of racial violence that hide in plain sight. How\, despite shifts in r hetoric and political policy\, have so many forms of racial violence persis ted? How\, we ask\, can we rethink ourselves by understanding our relations to blackness?
