Study Sessions: Che Gossett
Fri, Sept 8, 2017
7–9 pm
Floor Three, Hearst Artspace
Study Sessions is an ongoing event series inspired by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney’s notion of study as “what you do with other people.” For each Study Session, an artist, writer, or cultural worker selects a work of art on view in the Whitney’s permanent collection galleries as a departure point for thinking through an urgent question in our contemporary political landscape. Participants are invited to join together in open-ended discussions, and engage with creative practice. Study Sessions may take the form of workshops, listening parties, performances, readings, or film screenings. This session is led by Che Gossett.
Che Gossett is a Black trans femme writer, archivist at Barnard Center for Research on Women and a graduate student at Rutgers where they focus on the necropolitics of raciality, animality and the problem of the human. They were recently selected as a 2017–18 Palestine American Research Center fellow for their project “Non-Sovereignties: Personhood and the Interspecies Politics of Palestinian Struggle."
