As a film directing job for DDC Productions at Wesleyan, I was tasked with covering and editing a recap of Professor Zaira Simone-Thompson’s Abolition Geographies class’s trip to New York City in the Spring of 2024. This was a collaboration with Princeton University, and both classes brought a group of student panelists to give several talks about abolition geographies, and working towards abolishing systems that keep people oppressed in places around the world from the Caribbean to Burundi to Palestine. I learned so much from the students in this class, many of whom were the same class year as me. Not only did this experience give me new vocabulary that I had not encountered in any of my other classes, but simply knowing that spaces like this exist and are actively being created gives me hope. Additionally, the very notion of having a video such as this one that can circulate around different spaces makes me think conversations around abolitionist movements can continue to spread.
