In
this conversation, Jessica Edwards’ presentation on the temporal vacuoles of fugitivity, explored through the historical context
of the Transatlantic Middle Passage and the contemporary Middle Passage of the illegalised precarious crossings, forms the
starting point. Through conversation with researcher Mikkel Rørbo, the two will consider the sounding of bodies, the sharing
of embodied knowledges, and the entanglements of racial capitalism, histories and futurities while reflecting on the manifold
themes presented through the films of The Otolith Group and Black Quantum Futurism.
This is part of unsafe+sounds festival.
