Salt is organizing a program of workshops in collaboration with IASPIS and with support from the Consulate General of Sweden in Istanbul. The first workshop will be led by architect and researcher Marie-Louise Richards.
Focusing on how Black feminism engages in a practice of refusal and resistance that foregrounds care, love, joy, healing, and rest to undermine systems of oppression, Marie-Louise Richards’ work explores the possibilities for different modes of relational spaces for refuge, care, and healing as well as imagining alternative futures. Sharing the knowledge of refusal and resistance, Black feminist practices of collectivity, healing, and care have been fugitive and underground, demanding intimacy and opacity. During the workshop, Richards will reflect on what we can learn from following the supportive, nourishing, and joyful undercurrents of Black feminist practices.
