And in that process of analyzing the world in which we live and the violences committed against us every day, if you’re giving it the thought it requires, you vomit [up] your soul. You cough it up alive and beating, and recognize your own trauma in front of other people, and each time she meets with you [she does so with] unadulterated acceptance and warmth. ...The electricity of realizing the comfortable lies we tell ourselves are actually violent, of having [a] vocabulary for injustices I’ve known existed, of confronting how I’ve been hurt and caused the hurt of others—it’s [all] excruciating and exhausting and wonderful, and I will never run out of gratitude for that.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602559d2b6e92a732bbc14fb/1613068220545-JN8NINSLK0B7S12R2XP4/Teaching3.png Teaching Dr. Malaklou facilitates learning of political and libidinal anti-blackness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602559d2b6e92a732bbc14fb/1613068299095-GHFC16T5AG5Q4LXMKNXN/Teaching2.png Teaching - Beloit College student Darin Empereur facilitates learning in the Fall 2018 class, "Black Lives (Don’t) Matter."

Notably, the Wright Museum had just one piece in its collection by a black artist (procured in 2015) before she undertook this project. Alison Saar delivered the keynote address for the opening and local artists Della Wells, Evelyn Patricia Terry, Rosy Petri, and Jesse Howard also attended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602559d2b6e92a732bbc14fb/1613066195139-PKPESNSL2KUYWZVLPZPN/Picture8.png Exhibitions https://www.mshadeemalaklou.com/bell-hooks-center daily 0.75 2025-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602559d2b6e92a732bbc14fb/b2985b10-535f-4169-b351-279f75005f2e/20220318_Shadee+Malaklou_Christopher+Rice-34.jpg bell hooks center - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602559d2b6e92a732bbc14fb/1614193068045-UFPH0V9YJI254MZVZV6S/Screen+Shot+2021-02-12+at+4.36.19+PM.png bell hooks center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602559d2b6e92a732bbc14fb/1613165914015-Z5B7FC3P1U3D3DCI48DX/Screen+Shot+2021-02-12+at+4.36.07+PM.png bell hooks center
