Here she continues to be at her very best, asking the thorny questions that those of us who are scholars and practitioners of intersectionality often avoid. She is one of our most important intellectual architects. “Anyone who claims the mantle of Black feminist theorist is standing in the house Patricia Hill Collins built. Once again, Patricia Hill Collins shines as a masterful scholar of critical inquiry, politics, and social change.” - Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty Intersectionality as Critical Social Theory explains why critical social theory matters in the real world and how intersectionality can achieve its potential as a tool for social action needed to transform the world for the better. “With remarkable brilliance and breadth, Patricia Hill Collins examines the theoretical dimensions of intersectionality in new ways and in dialogue with other influential social theories and resistant knowledges.

This exhibition marks the first time their work-the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions-has been shown in dialogue together, taking visitors into their career-long conversations that began when they met in a photography class in 1976.ĭawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue is organized by the Grand Rapids Art Museum, with presenting support generously provided by MillerKnoll. Traveling to the streets of Harlem, the coastal Sea Islands, sites of the historical Underground Railroad, and the American South, the work of Bey and Weems explores ideas grounded in the experiences of Black people refracted through issues of gender, class, and systems of power. Longtime friends and mutual inspirations, Bey and Weems both explore complex visions of Black life in America through intimate portraits, dynamic street photography, and conceptual studies of folklore, culture, and historical sites. Join a conversation decades in the making.ĭawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue is an exhibition that presents over 140 works by two of today’s most significant photo-based artists. Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue – SEATTLE ART MUSEUM Get Tickets Become a Member Steven, Jean’s eldest son, decries the loss of morality and home values in the US, as he leans towards some fictional faction of the far-right. Dalcher is especially effective on how language contorts and confuses, and how certain words and ideas delivered by an adult to a young person can leave a lasting and immovable impression. When we first meet Jean, she’s the mother of four children in the suburbs – three boys and a progressively quiet girl – still demonstrating her own domestic resistance. In response to the steady rise of women’s voices, and particularly the honesty and force of these voices throughout the #MeToo movement, Dalcher is asking: what if we were silenced? And how long would it necessarily take to be starved of language? They are kept in check by bracelets that deliver electric shocks if they step out of line, a nightmare dystopia for any woman who's ever been told to not get lippy by a man. Set in a present just like our own, with a president who enjoys being on television, women have been reduced to speaking just 100 words a day. In Vox, however, words matter and none can be wasted. Maybe a few thousand." She concludes that the words are "semantically vacuous", meaningless, throwaway. Late in Vox, Christina Dalcher's debut novel, the narrator reflects: "I don't know how many times I've said 'I could kill him' in my 40-odd years. So well written and so easy to listen to, yet, not one that puts you to sleep. Their experiences somewhat mirrored each other yet so differently that it made for an extraordinary story line. The struggles they both experienced in life to reach their goals had one common thread. Yet, their differences were only one facet of this great story. Archer's tale is one of two men, born at the same time (early1920's) but worlds apart physically, emotionally, and financially. Somewhere right between "cant press stop" and "wow, what a great story.looking forward to the next chapter". It was COMPLETELY enjoyable to listen to. So glad I did! He once again, didnt fail to give me something I could sink my teeth into. I came upon one my my favorite authors, Jeffrey Archer, so I clicked his name and it brought me to his list of books, most of which I've listened to. I decided to go back into my library and maybe listen to one of the hundreds of audios I've downloaded in the past 2 years. It seems lately that I just couldn't find an audiobook that grabbed me and wouldn't let go. |
