2021 | On Protest and Mourning: Dee Dwyer

  • Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (map)

Join us for a conversation with Dee Dwyer and Keyonna Jonesas part of our On Protest and Mourning virtual Dialogue Series. On Protest and Mourning, our current digital exhibition, is a gathering of photographers and filmmakers whose work reveals how as a community, a nation, and a diaspora we grapple with anger, loss, and grief in response to the ongoing state violence and police brutality perpetrated against Black bodies. Their poignant and timely work helps us to navigate the questions: While we engage in protest and uprising, how can we also mark the lives that have been irreparably damaged or lost? How do we create rituals and make spaces for mourning? The conversation will be hosted by Grace Aneiza Ali, curator of On Protest and Mourning.
