Visual Culture at 25, College Art Association, New York, New York, February 17, 2023. Session co-chaired by Jill Casid and Nicholas Mirzoeff. With flash presentations by Kimberly Juanita Brown, Jessica A. Cooley, Che Gossett, Victoria Hindley, Joseph Pierce, Abdul Aliy Muhammad, Marcela Guerrero, and Eliza Steinbock. Visual Culture at 25 is the praxis of refusal. It’s trans*feminist, Black, brown, Indigenous, crip, queer, nonbinary, decolonial, reparationist, abundant, striking against our disposability, unapologetic in its its labors of love, its/our alter-attunement, its/our spiritual and materialist commitments to care that shows up and does the work of the study and the mutual aid it takes to risk being vulnerable with and for each other and against the deformations of carceral, settler colonial, cisheteropatriarchal racial capitalism. It takes all our words and tongues— y mas.
