The Imagined New is an interdisciplinary platform for critical exchange and research around African and African Diasporic art practices, as they relate to questions of history, archive and the alternative imagination(s) of the Radical Black Tradition.
Presented as a collaboration between the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice (CSSJ), Brown University, and the Visual Identities in Art and Design Research Centre (VIAD), University of Johannesburg, The Imagined New revolves around a three-year programme of interdisciplinary workshop platforms, and a corresponding three-part special edition publication of Callaloo, the premier journal of literature, art, and culture of the African Diaspora.
