Reading the Crisis: 'Cultural Identity and Diaspora' with Gail Lewis and Roderick Ferguson

The Stuart Hall Foundation's Reading the Crisis series asks: what kinds of tools and strategies are needed to address this conjuncture? This online conversation series seeks to advance Stuart Hall’s thinking by analysing a curated selection of three of Hall’s essays in relation to present-day political formations. Each conversation, chaired by Aasiya Lodhi, forms an online teach-in space dedicated to demonstrating how engaging in a conjunctural analysis can enrich artistic practice, deepen organising work, and academic study. The third event in the series took place on Tuesday 23rd July 2024, featuring Gail Lewis and Roderick Ferguson responding to Stuart Hall’s 1990 essay ‘Cultural Identity and Diaspora’.
