Ordinary Notes: On the (Un)Making of Black Meanings

Christina Sharpe (York University, Toronto)

Renowned scholar Christina Sharpe delivers a lecture on the various Black meanings embedded in the “ordinary” notes that compose Black Life. Offering a critical reading of The No Words Project, Sharpe’s presentation engages questions of worldmaking and worldbreaking that are at the center of convention.
