RICANNESS: ENDURING TIME IN ANTICOLONIAL PERFORMANCE BOOK PRESENTATION AND TALK WITH PROFESSOR SANDRA RUIZ

WHEN: Wednesday, November 20

WHERE: Richard Schechner Studio, Room 612

In this reading, Ruiz challenges the colonization of time and our normative assumptions of negation, incompletion, exhaustion, endurance, and violence, alongside moments of pleasure, desire, and redemption. A theorization of Ricanness, as the author expresses, supplies a relational way to imagine, dream, and construct alternate forms of existence under colonialism, across bodies of water and beyond the annexation of land. Learn more.
