Black Joy as Radical Practic

Joy is often imagined as a reward that comes after struggle. But what if joy can be part of the struggle itself, as a strategy for survival and a refusal of a flattened militancy?

Thinking with Black artists and organisers, we treat joy as serious political work. Through books, film and lived experience, we’ll explore how pleasure, play, storytelling, and community-making become tools of resistance in times of crisis.
