Striking Images: Black Exhaustion and Passive Resistance in Photography

The Department of Africana, Puerto Rican and Latino Studies received a Black, Race and Ethnic Studies Initiative (BRESI) grant to reimagine and support curricular transformation and inclusive excellence. The grant, “Black and Latinx Practices of Freedom: Archives, Methods and Pedagogies,” is supported by the Mellon Foundation and represents a CUNY-wide initiative that seeks to support innovation and sustainability in BRES-related topics.

Our upcoming guest is Dr. Sandy Alexandre, an Associate Professor of American literature at MIT who writes on Black material culture. She will be giving a lecture, “Striking Images: Black Exhaustion and Passive Resistance in Photography.”
