There have been few times in American history when the very concept of freedom of speech—its promise and its contradictions—has been under greater scrutiny. Studies into Darkness: The Perils and Promise of Freedom of Speech (Amherst College Press and Vera List Center, 2022) provides a practical and historical guide to free speech discourse and combines it with poetic responses to the contemporary crises around free expression. Ultimately, this publication provocatively questions whether genuine communication is ever attainable.

This program brings together the book’s editors Carin Kuoni and Laura Raicovich, contributors Aruna D'Souza and Kameelah Janan Rasheed in conversation, and artists Mendi + Keith Obadike, who present their performance In The Mouth of This Dragon.
