Tales from the Memory Vortex

Performance, Reading
- Keith Haring Theatre
- December 2 | 7pm
Black Quantum Futurism, the multidisciplinary collaboration between Camae Ayewa (Rockers!; Moor Mother) and Rasheedah Phillips (The AfroFuturist Affair; Metropolarity) 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.
