This curated offering of sonic, performative and poetic responses formed part of Think from Black: a Lexicon, a transnational convening presented by RGC and the Practicing Refusal Collective. Hosted by the Johannesburg Art Gallery and @occupation.jag, the programme featured readings and art activations by Canisia Lubrin, Gabrielle Goliath, Danai Mupotsa, Christina Sharpe and Nelisiwe Xaba. Many thanks to the Princeton Collaboratorium and the Columbia University Institute for Research on Women and Gender Studies for making this programme possible.

Think from Black: A Lexicon is imagined as a collective effort to create a more expansive conceptual vocabulary that takes Black life - in all of its diversity and multiplicity - as its point of departure.
