In many ways, this Episode is our attempt to engage with Fred’s incredible writing: with his proposal that all black performance (culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself) is improvisation.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?

This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
