Description: Nearly from its inception, Surrealism has had an international scope, but perspectives on the movement have been formed primarily through a Western European focus. The exhibition "Surrealism Beyond Borders" reconsiders the “movement” of Surrealism across boundaries of geography and chronology. This two-day series of conversations with leading scholars and artists continues to explore the issues raised in the exhibition, especially the blind spots, erasures, and challenges, and their consequences for thinking about Surrealism. Speakers in this panel reflect on the landmark publication Black, Brown, & Beige: Surrealist Writings from Africa and the Diaspora (2009), coedited by Franklin Rosemont and Robin D. G. Kelley, which was the first anthology in English to acquaint readers around the world with Black Surrealists. Speakers: Robin D. G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History, University of California, Los Angeles Fred Moten, Professor, Department of Performance Studies and Comparative Literature, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University Moderated by Zita Cristina Nunes, Associate Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania Session 2: Thursday, January 20, 2022, 4–5:30 pm This symposium is presented by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational.
