Colloquium dedicated to the impact of Christina Sharpe's monograph, Monstrous Intimacies | June 22 - 24 2026 | Toronto, Canada | Art by Boz Deseo Garden
The colloquium, too, was just a beginning for the never-ending, always rewarding work of returning to your incisive, field-shaping first text! We are beyond moved that the text’s treatment, to evoke Jared in another forthcoming work, gave back to you some of what it has given us.
Without a doubt, the strength of the first day reflects the generosity of the text it was honouring! Looking forward to two more days of discussion!
What a wonderful gift to see the panels already responding to the challenges Monstrous Intimacies puts forward so fully!!

One of the the many sharp interventions offered by @hystericalblkns.bsky.social is the Corregidora Complex—a (post-)slavery psychic formation structured through the violent foreclosure of an incest taboo. Discuss this and more elements of Monstrous Intimacies from June 22nd to 24th.
In Monstrous Intimacies, @hystericalblkns.bsky.social surfaces the inextricability of the desire for freedom from the desire for slavery, outlining their mutual intrication in the antiblack project of nation building. Come join us in Toronto this summer to discuss this and other insights!
In Monstrous Intimacies, @hystericalblkns.bsky.social mobilizes psychoanalysis as a method to analyze slavery’s psychic, cultural, and material hold on the present. Join us in Toronto from June 22nd to 24th to discuss this and other insights from her monumental text.
