THE PRACTICING REFUSAL COLLECTIVE is an international Black feminist forum of artists and scholars dedicated to initiating dialogues on blackness, anti-black violence and black futurity in the twenty-first century. Formed in 2015 by Professors Tina Campt and Saidiya Hartman, the Collective comprises sixteen members from multiple disciplines of the humanities, including two Columbia faculty, four Barnard faculty, and ten additional members from nine universities in the US and Canada. In 2018, the Collective launched an ambitious program of transnational conversations under the title The Sojourner Project. The Project expands the conversations begun by the Collective by creating dialogues in a range of sites in Africa and its diasporas with local artists, activists, scholars and thinkers working to develop their own strategies for addressing black precarity, fungibility, and anti-black violence.
