Global Blackness Summer School ‘23 / For Wholeness. Black being well
“Ordinary Notes”, with Christina Sharpe, J Wortham, Maneo Mohale & Dani Bowler (online)
For Wholeness. Black being well. What could be more fitting for the 1st session of this year’s Global Blackness Summer School than an intimate gathering with Christina Sharpe, author of Ordinary Notes (2023) and In the Wake: On Blackness and Being (2016)?

These notes might just reach you across distance, time, and space and with them you may be “held and held”
Christina Sharpe, Ordinary Notes
Join us as we gather around a selection of notes from Christina Sharpe’s tender, beautiful and luminous new book Ordinary Notes – a work that unfolds as creatively as it does intellectually, as it considers the work of the memorial in tandem with intimate recollections that weave personal memory into its critical considerations. Writer J Wortham, poet Maneo Mohale, and curator and writer Dani Bowler will offer poetic and creative responses to Christina’s offering – as we gather across distances to reflect, connect, imagine, dream and hold these ideas, together.
