Can the presence of our ancestors both speak as well as act
 to help us come to grips with our collective histories of racial,
 ethnic, gender identities and biases?

Using the healing processes in poetry, literature, visual arts and
 psychoanalysis, the presenters will consider how phantomatic and
 ancestral forces act in us through “cultural complexes” and “phantom
narratives.” We will contemplate the ways we come to grips with our
 collective histories of racial, ethnic, gender identities and biases
 through reparation, implication, forgiveness and clinical work.


The contemporary written word from African Americans about
 the spectral presences who act as our guides from our world to 
in-between worlds, landing on mythical shores where history can
 be revealed, witnessed, and cleansed in our souls will be used to 
amplify the need for such presences. Clinical examples of this
 process will be included.
