Do ideas emerging from particle physics help a re-thinking of blackness as a category of life in which it’s possible to practice difference without separation? 

 

Does the nature of art, social life, blackness, and anti-colonial struggle have something more than a merely metaphorical relationship to the nature of the physical world? Can concepts emerging from particle physics — such as nonlocality, implicancy, phase-transitions or virtuality — allow a different understanding of human existence to be imagined? One that is both less and more-than-human, where attending to our differences doesn’t presuppose our separability from each other.
