SUMMARY:Viral Justice: Ruha Benjamin In Conversation with Fahamu Pecou
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Southern Center for Human Rights as we host Dr. Ruha Benjamin to discuss her latest work\, Viral Justice\, in conversation with Dr. Fahamu Pecou. \n\n\n\nLong before the pandemic\, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race\, technology\, and justice\, focusing on big\, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small\, individual actions. Part memoir\, part manifesto\, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Ruha Benjamin is an internationally recognized writer\, speaker\, and professor of African American Studies at Princeton University\, where she is the founding director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab. She is the award-winning author of Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code and editor of Captivating Technology\, among many other publications. Her work has been featured widely in the media\, including the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, CNN\, The Root\, and The Guardian. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Fahamu Pecou is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose works combine observations on hip-hop\, fine art\, and popular culture to address concerns around contemporary representations of Black men. Through paintings\, performance art\, and academic work\, Dr. Pecou confronts the performance of Black masculinity and Black identity\, challenging and expanding the reading\, performance\, and expressions of Blackness. \n\n\n\nPecou’s work is featured in noted private and public national and international collections including; Smithsonian National Museum of African American Art and Culture\, Societe Generale (Paris)\, Nasher Museum at Duke University\, The High Museum of Art\, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, Paul R. Jones Collection\, ROC Nation\, Clark Atlanta University Art Collection and Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSafety Protocols\n\n\n\nWe are committed to the safety of our staff and supporters. This event will adhere to all federal and local COVID-19 recommendations. Proof of vaccination or negative COVID test result within 48 hours of the event as well as compliance with mask mandates will be required for all guests.
