Author, organizer, and designer Aida Mariam Davis—niece of activist and scholar Angela Davis—presents Kindred Creation, a bold philosophical guidebook rooted in African lifeways and Black liberation. Through the themes of Remember, Refuse, and Reclaim, Davis examines the enduring impacts of settler colonialism and empire—offering a visionary blueprint for intergenerational Black joy, dignity, and freedom.
Davis will be in conversation with Dr. Kai Mathews, educator and founder of The Liberatory Classroom, for a dynamic dialogue on designing better worlds on Black terms.
