Nana Adusei-Poku

Nana Adusei-Poku is a Research Professor in Visual Culture at Rotterdam University and Guest Lecturer in Media Arts and Master Fine Arts at the University of the Arts, Zurich. Her research interests are in cultural studies, visual culture, black diaspora art history, postcolonial and critical race theory, and queer of color critique.

With an interest in expanding the means of knowledge production, Adusei-Poku is developing collaborative performance lectures that experiment with the realm of the aesthetic in order to counter classical academic notions of presentation and communication.

Read Adusei-Poku’s article, So it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive, published in March 2016 in the Dutch Journal for Gender Studies, which unpacks and explores Black Queer Ontologies.

Nana Adusei-Poku will be in conversation with NIC Kay on PASS in Amsterdam on Sunday 11 December from 16:00 – 17:00.
