Festival Albertine 2016
Curated by Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of the National Book Award-winning Between the World and Me, the third annual Festival Albertine will explore cultural trends in our national, social, and cultural labels today in France and the US. Speakers will include Coates, artist Kehinde Wiley, poet Claudia Rankine, novelist and frequent contributor to the New York Review Darryl Pinckney, New Yorker contributor Jelani Cobb, among others. Discussions will cover how black identity, in America and France, has changed in the wake of Black Lives Matter; how the rise of the populist right in both countries affects national identity; and how each country's attitudes toward immigration have shaped its interaction with the broader world.
