Visual Culture and Black Protest

with Prakash Krishnan and Kristen Young



Description

Prakash Krishnan is a media practitioner, scholar and artist-researcher pursuing a Master's in Media Studies in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University.  Kristen Young is a community archivist and records manager.  Krishnan and Young, co-hosts of the podcast Do the Kids Know? Use three case studies of protests against anti-Black racism to explore the relationship between visual culture and protest. They illuminate how iconic moments of visuality inform a cultural understanding of history, thereby canonizing protests as a historical imagination.

TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Decolonial Hub is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other people. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other people within the community.

BLACK CANADIAN TRIBUTE

As Black Canadians, land acknowledgements are a moment to honour the implications of being disposed of, displaced and enslaved peoples on stolen lands. To acknowledge our solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Canada as we frequent and benefit from their lands within our shared histories of genocide, dispossession, and ongoing systemic oppression by settler colonialism. As Black people in Canada, let’s pay homage to the exported Africans, the black and enslaved, who risked their lives for us to be here, together, and live out there without physical chains.
