Details:

Hosted by the Black Student Union and Africa GSD, this conference investigates Black praxes of making and taking space, and creating “tools for living” through interconnected themes: Black theologies, Black ecologies, and Black geographies. It examines the complex relationships between belief systems, environments, and lands that shape Black communities across the diaspora. Design serves as both terrain and a tool to explore lineage, land, and lore as intertwined forces shaping our communities. Through keynote panels, workshops, performances, and creative exchanges, the conference critically examines histories of migration, displacement, and resilience in the context of ongoing political and environmental crises.
