Radical Conjuring with Sasha Banks and Adriana Green

Radical Conjuring, a two-part workshop hosted by Sasha Banks and Adriana Green, invites participants to reimagine the past and give language and shape to a post–white supremacist future through the use of four interventions including elements of cartography, archiving, historical revision, and writing. The workshop takes place on June 15 from 5-7:30pm and on June 16 from 5-7:30pm and is co-sponsored by GetWoke! 

A reading with Sasha Banks, preceded by a brief open mic, will follow the June 16 workshop.
