Rhythms/Performances of Subversion & Conformity

A symposium that centers on a table reading of Marival (1996) by Felix de Rooy, a landmark play about Caribbean queer experience in the shadow of Dutch postcolonialism.


The themes emerging from this literary provocation will be enriched by lectures, open call research responses, memory sessions, listening rituals, harvested annotations, sobremesas, and a nested program of Latinx interventions about restorative justice.

Convened by Dr. Wigberton Julian Isenia, Alejandro Navarrete, and BAK Community Portal.
