HCAR Works-in-Progress Seminar: Zachary Qualls & Nkem Ike
October 10, 2:30 pm-4:00 pm
Project: “Transformative Cultural Materiality: Archaeologies of Displacement, Persistent Lifeways, & Identity”
Presenters: Dr. Zachary Qualls (Gilcrease Museum) & Dr. Nkem Ike (University of Toronto)
Join us for a roundtable conversation about Drs. Qualls’ & Ike’s newest research paper, Transformative Cultural Materiality: Archaeologies of Displacement, Persistent Lifeways, & Identity, which examines how displaced and migrating communities use material culture (such as clothing, tools, housing, and sacred items) to preserve traditions, reassert identity, and resist colonial and racial logics. The discussion will consider how cultural memory and creativity shape new material worlds that bridge past and present while imagining future freedoms.
Please register for the event here and you will receive a digital copy of the paper after registering.
Special Parking Note: Please plan to park in the gated Brannin Parking Lot on the south side of W. Newton St. across from the Helmerich Center for American Research.
