Race, Representation, Repression and Resistance: Thinking Through Ernest Cole
Ernest Cole’s photographs of apartheid in South Africa during the 1960s document a brutal reality of the country’s storied history. Issues of race, repression, representation and resistance intrinsic to these arresting images will be the focus of an esteemed panel including political activist and scholar Angela Davis, artist Ken Gonzales-Day and anthropologist Jean Comaroff and moderated by political theorist Wendy Brown.
This co-sponsored event is part of the Fowler OutSpoken Conversation Series.
