Running until June 20, and with the theme “Epistemic Insurgencies of Contemporary Afro-Diasporic Thought,” the forum commemorates the centennials of these three great political figures with an extensive academic program that can be offered both online and in person, according to the Cubarte website.

The event joins the processes of systematizing existing debates around African-American ideological and political thought and invites emancipatory dialogue among academics, researchers, teachers, communicators, artists, and activists.

The agenda proposes the following thematic axes: Maroon Epistemologies, Cultural and Political Insurgencies in Afro-America, and includes festivals, conferences, and gatherings of Black writers and artists, as well as their contributions to trans-Africanism.

Similarly, other topics will revolve around the decolonizing work of Afro-descendant periodicals and intellectual networks; the theme “Women at the Center of History”; Black Feminisms, Yesterday and Today; and “Towards a New Pan-Africanism? An Examination of 20th-Century Experiences.”

The program also includes: Frantz Fanon (1925-1961); Patricio Lumumba (1925-1961); and Malcolm X (1925-1965): Legacies and Lessons Learned.

The event’s academic structure will include individual presentations, panels, audiovisual materials, and presentations of books or publishing collections.
