With J.T. Roane and Edna Bonhomme. Moderated by Jeff Diamanti.
This conversation, part of the Crisis Imaginaries series, centers on the politics of urbanisation and public health as larger themes from which to dive into localised histories Edna Bonhomme and J.T. Roane explore in their work. Within these instances, we can trace harm as the outcome of systemic inequalities and injustices. We’ll consider how overarching declarations of ‘public crisis’ obscure the overlapping nature of crises compartmentalised across urban housing, poverty, public heath and healthcare, and environmental collapse. Simultaneously, Bonhomme and Roane present sites which honour rage and resistance, as well as pathways and practices of Black harm reduction and decolonial healing.

Crisis Imaginaries is a project by Framer Framed and Goethe-Institut Niederlande. The series explores the climate and ecological crises through participatory research and from intersectional & interdisciplinary perspectives. Reckoning with colonial-imperial roots, we seek to deepen our understanding of a present defined by extinction and environmental destruction and a future bracing for climate collapse. The project promotes spaces of listening and knowledge/resource sharing in an effort to move toward a more climate just society.
