The Critical Infrastructures and Image Politics (CIIP) research group is pleased to invite you all to a guest lecture by artist, activist and curator Imani Jacqueline Brown, whose work investigates the continuum of extraction from settler colonial genocide and slavery to fossil fuel production and climate change.
About the speaker
Imani Jacqueline Brown's practice and research exposes the layers of violence and resistance that form the foundations of settler-colonial society, opening space to imagine paths to ecological reparations. Imani's practice combines photography and videography, curatorial and archival research, ecological philosophy, legal theory, people’s / oral history, remote sensing, and counter-cartography. These strategies disentangle the spatial logics that make geographies, unmake communities, and break Earth’s geology.
Her research is disseminated internationally through art installations, public actions, reports, and testimony delivered to courts and organs of the United Nations. Among other things, she is currently a doctoral candidate in the School of Geography at Queen Mary, University of London, a research fellow with Forensic Architecture, and an associate lecturer in MA Architecture at the Royal College of Arts.
