Black and Indigenous Ecologies and Futures Panel

Black and Indigenous Ecologies and Futures Panel
Join the Cedar Gallery for their inaugural event -- the Black and Indigenous Ecologies and Futures Panel - which brings together two geographers of Black ecologies, a lawyer of Black placemaking, and an Indigenous farmer to discuss the past, present, and future of Black and Indigenous environmental relations in the United States and Brazil. Centering work in Tappahannock, Virginia, Durham, North Carolina, and Bahia, Brazil, moderators Shelbi Nahwilet Meissner and Jayson Maurice Porter will guide the conversation through themes such as food sovereignty, land reform and access, archival methods and silences, Black and Indigenous ecological thought, and both constraints and possibility in this work and study.
The Cedar Gallery is a segment of the Indigenous Futures Lab within the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, which centers ecologies, diasporas, and ancestral roots through showcasing and supporting Black and Indigenous environmental works.
