The Poetics of the Meantime series engages the role of art, practice, and relation in the tense of the meantime, protracted periods marked by what is as yet unrealized. The symposia urges thinking about revolution in a minor key and the everyday lives and working realities of Black communities during moments of upheaval not defined by organized collective protest or mass revolutionary action. The first event in the series is organized on the topic of Black feminist ecology as one such form of relation and refusal by other means.
