The roundtable discussion during the workshop "Black multiplicities, African multiplicities? Theorising Migration, Identity, and Blackness from a European standpoint" will link
the academy to creative explorations of Blackness, with input from guests Dr. Melody
Howse (MPI for Social Anthropology,
Halle),
Yero Adugna (Black in Berlin), and Solomon
Mekonen (University of Oslo, Norway). The
evening will feature a presentation of photographs from Yero’s “Black in
Berlin” series, a showing of a short film created by Melody and Solomon (and
separate film clips created by Solomon), and a brief historical overview of
Black image projects in Europe. The complementary discussion will contextualize
Yero’s work in the broader context of Black visuality in Europe, helping us
better understand the visual languages of Blackness and the impetus behind
these creative expressions.
