Ask Your Questions, a Belknap Visiting Fellows Residency with Daniel Alexander Jones

Daniel Alexander Jones, a Belknap Short-Term Visiting Fellow in Princeton’s Humanities Council, culminates a week-long collaboration with members of the Princeton community to construct an altar with a public conversation and celebration. Centered around the prompt “Ask Your Questions,” the conversations, offerings, building and activation of the altar is rooted in the cultivation of intentional space for inquiry, deep listening, and consideration of traditional practices of presence, particularly those rooted in Black Queer interiorities. The September 23 conversation includes Dr. Deborah Paredez of Columbia University and features both artists reading from their work and discussing not only their own questions, but questions born of the week’s invitations, followed by time for celebration
