Mercy Romero: “Still Life: Black Radical Movement and Courtroom Drawings, 1971”

Professor Romero’s research includes post-1964 African American and trans-American literatures and literary history, poverty, memory, and cultural history. She is currently working on a manuscript, Wonder’s Collapse: Art at the Intersection of Embodiment and Sociality. Her talk thinks about drawing and history, and the practice and crisis of black radical movement.
