About this Event
2025 marks one hundred years of the births of Gilles Deleuze and Frantz Fanon. It also marks 50 years of the M**der of Pier Paolo Pasolini. More than a confluence of dates, this is a confluence of some of the most consequential contributions to renewed practices of liberation in critical thinking, art making, and anti-colonial, anti-fascist resistance. In this vigil held on the day of Deleuze’s passing, on November 4th, 1995, the names Deleuze, Fanon, Pasolini will be invoked not so much in their individual capacities, but as a collective force, a revolutionary assemblage. Join PS faculty André Lepecki, Fred Moten, Ann Pellegrini and Karen Shimakawa as they will read selected texts from the three authors, vocalizing Deleuze’s, Fanon’s and Pasolini’s critical vigilance and vital militance, their belief in the world and in art as a powerful anti-fascist, anti-colonialist, and anti-homophobic weapon. The weapon, of course, always conceived as collective line of flight, as aberrant movement, as poetry, as music, as image, as a beautiful thing: life.
