It is one of MANIFESTA 12’s seventy-one Collateral Events jury selected to run in parallel with the biennial.

Presented by New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, NYU Florence: La Pietra Dialogues, the NYU Institute of African & African American Research and the University of Palermo, the conference took place from June 6 – 9. It was among a series of international conversations breaking new ground in the fields of African and African Diasporic art, literature, cultural theory, history and political practice. The four-day event concluded with two panel discussions aboard the GNV Atlas boat which sailed the Mediterranean Sea taking participants from Palermo to Naples and back.
