Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Early Caribbean Society<\/a> is pleased to announce Global Equiano<\/a><\/em>, <\/strong>a global, virtual, free, and accessible event that opens fresh conversations about enslaved and free Black people as they navigated spaces dominated by violent, colonial forces, and considers the Black Atlantic futures they imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In our program we gather scholars, artists, curators, writers, and community from several countries to talk and think together about Equiano and his legacies, and also about diasporic Black, African, Caribbean, and Black Atlantic identities and their relationships to place and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our format intentionally breaks the form of the \u2018conference\u2019 to offer something more conversational and free-form, that gives space for listeners to think and even create along with the speakers. We hope these virtual salons inspire other ideas and responses to the myriad topics raised by considering Equiano as a site for broader engagements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We look forward to you joining us on our YouTube channel<\/a> on 20 and 21 September and to availing of the digital archive that will be created by this event. Please share widely. All are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warmly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kerry Sinanan, D\u00e9sha Osborne, Alex Milsom, Kate Singer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Colleagues, The Early Caribbean Society is pleased to announce Global Equiano, a global, virtual, free, and accessible event that opens fresh conversations about enslaved and free Black people as they navigated spaces dominated by violent,… Read more »<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":""},"categories":[10,1],"tags":[121],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5522"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5522"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5523,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5522\/revisions\/5523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bars.ac.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
