💫 Rebel har haft mange gode oplevelser på @bogforum, og vi gør, hvad vi kan, for at i år ikke bliver nogen undtagelse.

🎤To samtaler byder vi på, på Ny Scene, som jo ligger i vores eget område, Mikroforlagene i Hal E.

🍒 Fredag kl. 12.45 kan du møde oversætterne @mahnazfirouzabadi og @solkhorshid til en samtale om fabelagtige Zoyâ Pirzâds forfatterskab. Forlaget har udgivet tre af Pirzâds novellesamlinger, ig vi skal tale om dem alle og om persisk (feministisk) litteratur og betydningen af oversættelse i disse tider og meget mere. Samtalen modereres af forlæggeren, som også er redaktøren.

🖤 Lørdag kan du så møde forfatter og menneskerettighedsadvokat @nanijansenreventlow i samtale med forsker @dr.e_hunter (aka Elizabeth Löwe Hunter) om, strategiske søgsmål, tilbageerobringen af digitale rettigheder, erstatning for fortidens uhyrligheder og meget mere, i forbindelse med udgivelsen af Radikal Retfærdighed - endnu en vigtig tilføjelse til Rebels systemkritiske serie. Vi kan nemlig alle være revolutionen.

📚Derudover har vi selvfølgelig alle vores skønne udgivelser med, og traditionen tro, laver jeg da også lige en stak adventskalendre.

Vi glæææder os - og der er kun to uger til 🤩

It’s been 9 months back in Copenhagen!

I feel both grateful and impatient.

🫶🏾Grateful because, all things considered, Denmark has welcomed me and my work warmly. I wasn’t sure the time was right. In these nine months, I’ve taken part in nine events as an expert/moderator/panelist/or organizer. I’ve collaborated with friends and heroes and gone out to listen to the important work others are doing. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the small FUBU bubbles emerging here and there, however ephemeral they may be. I’ve published work and submitted more for publication. I landed a job with one of my best friends and was hired as external examiner for higher ed. I received a grant for a dream project and won a research award! The “Year of the Fire Horse” energy was in full effect!

🤌🏾I’m impatient because critical knowledge production still lacks an infrastructure. Decolonial and critical race studies are treated as non-issues; there are no dedicated institutions where we can collaborate or where our young people can receive expert guidance (period) let alone from people who reflect their lived experiences. I’m impatient because I was naively shocked to find that genuine feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonial commitments aren’t actually practiced in the very places where these ideologies are performed. QTBIPOC researchers are typically brought in temporarily as a “spicy” addition but aren’t offered the stability that permanent positions provide. Meanwhile, the Danish public sphere loves self-appointed spokespeople and shallow identity politics. And “intersectionality” is not more than an inflated buzzword. The country’s most radical voices remain the most burnt-out, underpaid, and exploited - and quiet.
Denmark remains, by and large, pale, male, and stale. I am not disappointed, because I had no expectations. But it still makes me tired.

Grateful and impatient. Happy and tired. Many things can be true at the same time.

Have a great summer! ✌🏾 Read a book (maybe one of the many that were gifted to me).

I'm headed to Denmark next week for a series of exciting events!

I'll be in Kerteminde as a participant in "William H. Johnson: Across the Atlantic," a seminar examining Johnson as a "midnight son" --an artist well-known for his Harlem peoplescapes, but who lived and worked in Scandinavia for over half of his life. Anna Vestergaard Jørgensen, Denise Murrell, Lars Toft-Eriksen, and Nina Cramer are organizers.

In Copenhagen, on June 4th, I'll speak about Superfine in a workshop on Curating Black Aesthetics and Transatlantic Modernisms at SMK/The National Gallery of Denmark. Denise Murrell will also speak about her Harlem Renaissance and TransAtlantic Modernisms exhibition.

This will be followed by a public event, a panel on AfroNordic Experience and Transatlantic Modernisms at SMK, with Ethelene Whitmire, Elizabeth Löwe Hunter, and Marcia Harvey-Isaksson moderated by Nina Cramer. I'll be speaking about artist Herb Gentry and "rhizomatic Blackness."

Wonderful people, scholars, and curators all!

Jeg glæder mig meget til det her seminar med nogle helt fantastiske deltagere: forelæsning med Richard J. Powell og panelsamtale med Monica Miller, Elizabeth Löwe Hunter, Marcia Harvey Isaksson og Ethelene Whitmire! Kom og hør om kunstnere som William H. Johnson, Herbert Gentry, Ernest Mancoba og Walter H. Williams - og om spørgsmål omkring sorthed og modernisme, der generelt har fået alt for lidt opmærksomhed på de store institutioner herhjemme.

ATTENTION! The event Decolonial Solidarities has been postponed until the fall due to illness. ❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🩹🩷💜💚

Gente! Happy Holy-Lilla- Love Day!✨

Så er det i næste uge, at vi samles i solidaritet og til kollektiv tænkning sammen med Françoise Vergès @francoise_verges_decoloniale , der kommer til Kbh! ❤️‍🔥💜🔥

Sammen med @farhiya_khalid, @dr.e_hunter og Sophia Wathne er aktivister og kritiske tænkere fra forskellige bevægelser inviteret til en samtale med den dekoloniale feministiske tænker og aktivist om strategier, modstand og solidaritet. Sammen skaber vi et rum for erfaringsudveksling, forbindelser og fælles refleksion.

Françoise Vergès er en internationalt anerkendt tænker inden for postkoloniale studier, intersektionel feminisme og dekolonial teori. I hendes arbejde undersøger hun forbindelserne mellem race, køn, arbejde, kolonialisme, omsorg og kapitalisme og hvordan magt former både vores samfund og vores forestillinger om frihed, renhed og feminisme.

Hendes bøger Det kapitalocæne, affald, race & køn og En dekolonial feminisme er oversat til dansk og udgivet af @forlagetaleatorik og @lab_aesthetics_and_ecology

Det kapitalocæne, affald, race & køn undersøger, hvordan den vestlige verdens idé om renhed og bæredygtighed hænger sammen med usynliggjort omsorgsarbejde og udlicitering af affald og forurening til racialiserede mennesker og det Globale Syd.

En dekolonial feminisme er et skarpt opgør med en hvid og liberal feminisme, der historisk har overset spørgsmål om race, klasse og kolonialisme og en invitation til at tænke feminisme som kollektiv kamp og solidaritet.

Fra efterordet af @farhiya_khalid:
“Vi har i den grad brug for denne bog, særligt i Danmark, der stadig formår at adskille sig mentalt fra sin egen kolonihistorie, på trods af at kolonialismen er en fast bestanddel af det stof, dette land er gjort af.”

Vi glæder os til at mødes, lytte og tænke sammen d. 20. maj kl. 16–20 i @folketshuscph . Der vil efter samtalen være folkekøkken. Det er gratis! Og! Alle er velkomne - men husk at tilmelde jer ✨

💬 TRANSRACIAL INTIMACIES 💬 Join our conversation Wednesday May 20th, 12:00-13:30 CET/ 20:00-21:30 KST. 🆓 Registration link via FB event or link 👆🏾

ABOUT:
🔸What does it feel like to be raised in a white family in a white country for Black, brown and Indigenous people? How does having little to no racial mirroring impact your sense of self? And how do you construct an embodied, affirming and humanizing self-perception without a shared language for the specific experiences of transracial upbringings?

🔸In this conversation we explore questions about kinship, racialization, and developing a sense of self. Our questions arise from an observation that transracial experiences of racialization are often absent from critical discourses on racism. Furthermore, they are often constructed as separate, divided between regionally or racially specific fields of study. 🔸What could we learn if we shared vocabulary and resources across experiences of (surviving) transracial adoption and interracial, white family constellations? 🔸What insights can emerge from the intersection of Critical Adoption Studies, Black Studies, and Transnational Feminisms?

🔸Speakers: Amandine Gay and Seungmi Laura Cho
Moderator: Elizabeth Löwe Hunter

🔸The webinar is part of the research project Transracial Intimacies: Exploring Racialization from within the Nordic Family. The project is a collaboration between Prof. Paola Bacchetta (Gender and Women’s Studies, UC Berkeley), Prof. Lene Myong (Centre for Gender Studies, University of Stavanger), and Dr. Elizabeth Löwe Hunter (independent researcher) and it is funded by a Peder Sather Grant. 💬TRANSRACIAL INTIMACIES 💬Join our conversation Wednesday May 20th, 12:00-13:30 CET/ 20:00-21:30 KST.

I received an Emma Goldman Award!

…for advancing feminist and inequality research in Europe.

I am truly humbled and grateful.
Being associated with such brilliant, ambitious and kind people is a deep honor.

The last decade has been filled with incredibly hard work. And the past 2-3 years, since earning my PhD, have been especially challenging and hopeless at times.

This recognition of my work affirms that it matters and someone out there sees what I am trying to do.

If you don’t see me in the group photo it is because I gave a public talk about my work in Copenhagen and flew straight to Vienna afterwards. My ceremony was then entering a room full of extremely smart people applauding me and Mieke Verloo awarding me on the spot - before I even got my coat off. A very grand, Leo entrance ✨ Thank you!

Congratulations to all the Emma Goldman awardees and the Emma Goldman Snowball awardees of 2026. I’m in awe of you.
