Artist and lawyer Rasheedah Phillips’ explores the relationships between justice, time, and the future, and how these constructs work together to catalyze and perpetuate systemic oppression denying Black communities access and agency over the temporal domains of the past, present, and the future. The presentation will also introduce Phillips' VLC Fellowship project Time Zone Protocols, exploring the written and unwritten legal, political, and social agreements, protocols, and rules underlying Westernized time constructs such as the US and International time zones, and unmapping the same with the Black Quantum Futurism lens to leave room for new possibilities and configurations of political and social space and time. New School professor Mia White, Associate Director of the Housing Justice Lab, Parsons, responds and shares connections.Â
