In Search of African American and Indigenous Space is a transdisciplinary, world shaping and world making research practice, which contributes to the development of new ways of becoming for Black, Indigenous, and Peoples of Color, LGBT and allies through practices of collaborative teaching and learning, publications, conferences, symposia, curriculum development, pedagogy and community development. The transdisciplinary research collaborative engages across the disciplines that inform architecture and performance in media, representation and experimental poetics through the work of intersectionality and spirituality.
