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.
