The Caribbean Coalition at Berkeley held the Imagining Caribbean Futures, a two-day interdisciplinary symposium on April 10-11 at UC Berkeley. Through panels, a screening of Burnt Milk by Joseph Douglas Elmhirst, and a keynote address by Dr.  Kevon Rhiney, this gathering explored the question: What are Caribbean futures? The symposium was organized around four central themes: modernity and the Anthropocene, art practice and performativity, sovereignty and subjecthood, and toward repair and radical imagination. 

This symposium was free and open to the public. Imagining Caribbean Futures is organized by the Caribbean Coalition at UC Berkeley and co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies, Berkeley Black Geographies, the Geography Department, the Townsend Center for the Humanities, and The Zones of Incommunicability and Biomedicine Research Team.
