Decolonization is a process that centers Indigenous peoples and works to undo legacies of oppression, violence, and marginalization. Decolonization is not a catch all-term for things we seek to improve in our culture and communities.
In this Reading Group organized by the Artists of Color Council (AoCC) at Movement Research (Core members: Megan Curet, Rebecca Gual, and Shawn Rawls; Coordinator: Jelani Taylor) participants will have the opportunity to read excerpts from the article “Decolonization is not a Metaphor” (E. Tuck & K.W. Yang, 2012) and discuss their use of, and engagements with, practices of “decolonization”. Facilitated by AoCC Coordinator Jelani Taylor, the Reading Group will involve intervals of reading and discussion. Participants will be given printed copies of excerpts and the full article will also be shared via a QR code.
