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?
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
