Robin D. G. Kelley shares “Back to the Future: Complex Movements Make Revolution,” an essay from memory on a conversation with 2022 Knight Arts + Tech Fellows Complex Movements in Shift Space 2.0, a publication exploring new media landscapes. Kelley recollects, “Radical philosopher Grace Lee Boggs (1915\u20132015) was the catalyst for Complex Movements, which took its name in 2010 after listening to her invoke quantum theory to explain new directions in organizing.”<\/p>\n
