Tales from the Memory Vortex
Access Provision: ASL interpretation
Black Quantum Futurism presents Tales from the Memory Vortex, a two-hour immersive performance event featuring a curated selection of guest poets, musicians, and scholars. This multidisciplinary gathering delves into readings of thought-provoking essays, evocative poems, and performative lectures centered on themes of Black anthropological discoveries, Black temporalities, quantum physics, and the intricate tapestry of African and Black Diasporic time and memory rituals. Employing a retrocausal framework, Tales from the Memory Vortex spirals backward through time and space to examine our origins and trajectories.
