Memory of the audience of the Returning the Gaze conference in 2014

Ashwani Sharma´s quote which concurrently is the last quote of the social media campaign: Quotes of Resistance 2, #QoR2: Resisting Blackface, accentuates how important it is to think outside the logics of racist-neoliberal frameworks and bring forth as well as experiment with different ways of thinking and presenting knowledge. In the last few months ERIF has been posting various contributions in forms of digital postcards, audio recordings and short video representations from activists, scholars and artists of colour that elaborate on what it means to encounter blackface in Europe. They offer heterogenous ways and strategies on how to resist racist imaginary. The different inputs also contribute to the special issue “(De-)facing the dark face of Europe”, the open access journal darkmatter which is a critical and explorative platform for anticolonial work. The issue contains different articles that emerged from the ERIF conference: Returning the Gaze, in 2014, and emphasizes anti-racist and Black liberatory action. All articles are available via the following link, for a deeper dive into these different subjects and themes: https://darkmatter-hub.pubpub.org

As #Pride month comes to a close over the coming days, we re-post this insightful quote, which ponders how should we properly address and challenge derogatory and harmful imagery and narratives without reproducing them further in our social justice movements?

Memory of the audience of the Returning the Gaze conference in 2014

“It’s still possible to generate new zones of practice within and outside the academy, even as it becomes intensely commodified. Can we dismantle the master’s house by dismantling... no, hacking the master’s tools?”

Currently, we are conducting a social media campaign called: Quotes of Resistance 2, #QoR2: Resisting Blackface. You can find various contributions in forms of digital postcards, audio recordings and short video representations from activists, scholars and artists of colour that elaborate on what it means to encounter blackface in Europe, and offer heterogenous ways and strategies on how to resist racist imaginary.
