In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?

A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
