Poet and graphic designer Chaun Webster draws from an interest in the work of sign in graffiti, the layering of collage, and the visuality of text. These methods are used in Webster’s work to investigate race—specifically the instability of blackness and black subjectivities, geography, memory, and the body. Webster will discuss how these investigations engage the question of absence and how to archive what is missing from the landscape as neighborhoods once populated with familiar presences, dissolve in real time.
