Spiritual practices in Black communities carries a deep tension. It is at once a source of liberation, and a mechanism of control. A wellspring of community and resistance, but also a reminder of empire’s reach. Examining religion means confronting both its empowering and oppressive histories.
This reflective workshop will create space to explore these complexities.
Together we will consider:
- The continuing role of spiritual traditions in shaping identity today.
- How Black communities reinterpreted faith as a force of resistance.
- How religion was used by empire as a system of control, exclusion, and violence.
- Where faith continues to liberate, and where it can still reproduce control and silence.
Through shared discussion, we will listen and engage with other people’s experiences with openness and curiosity.
