Temporal Repair Clinic: A Performance-Reading-Workshop

 
Step into the first session of the “Temporal Repair Clinic,” at The Memory Vortex Inn, a deeply interactive two-hour session led by Rasheedah Phillips and Camae Ayewa of Black Quantum Futurism. This immersive experience blends reading, performance, and collective exploration to examine and reimagine the intersections of time, space, and justice.
 
Drawing from recently published works Dismantling the Master’s Clock and American Equations in Black Classical Music, participants will engage in an interactive session that challenges traditional notions of history, causality, and narrative. Through collaborative activities, the clinic becomes a space for reparative temporal and spatial practices, inviting participants to actively contribute to a shared exploration of how time and space can be reclaimed and restructured.
 
Anchored in the principles of quantum dialogue, the session reflects the interconnectedness of all actions across time and space. Collective mapping and thought experiments will help us to link historical moments, present events, and speculative futures, creating a living model of justice as a multidimensional and interconnected process. It is an act of collective repair and reimagining. Your perspectives and narratives will play a pivotal role in crafting a collective vision of how quantum theory and justice intersect to reshape our temporal realities.
