Fugitivity 101 w/New England Hoodoo Society

Our conversation with Roman ‘Bolaji’ Johnson and Danielle Cole-co-organizers and founders of the New England Hoodoo Society-explored ritualistic and historical methods of exodus and escape.
Hoodoo, a practice that seeds ancestral connection and belonging, spiritually undergirds Black fugitivity in magics born from African cultural retentions and Black struggle against slavery. This spiritual way of being and knowing emerged from the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as Africans abducted from their ancestral homes sought to re-affirm their connections to land and lineage; Hoodoo continues to influence how we exist and how we understand each other in relation to our fugitive histories and our liberated futures.
