SHF Autumn Keynote with Professor Robin D.G. Kelley + Q&A
Conway Hall, London, and online (with international access)
Thursday 5 September 2024, 19:00–21:00 BST
Internationally renowned historian and writer Professor Robin D. G. Kelley will deliver the Stuart Hall Foundation’s third Autumn Keynote, responding to the theme of their 2024 programme Catastrophe and Emergence. Professor Robin D. G. Kelley will examine this current conjecture, trace the histories constituting it, and consider the political and creative possibilities that might emerge from what was. His keynote will mark key moments of Catastrophe and Emergence: the Berlin Conference and its aftermath; World War I as a war between empires over colonies; and how the end of World War II marked the defeat over fascism and the reinforcement of colonial domination through the UN Charter.
Professor Kelley will think through these moments to trace the colonial dialectic and the different phases of resistance to it – thinking about resistance as always in a state of emergence, never complete, never finished, always in motion.
A chaired discussion and audience Q&A led by interdisciplinary writer, artist, editor and curator Imani Mason Jordan will follow the keynote.
