Françoise Vergès is a political theorist, curator and writer

She writes on the racist fabrication of premature death, decolonial feminism, the impossible decolonization of the western museum, climate disaster and antiracist, anticapitalist politics of vital needs. She works with artists and curates, since 2015, public performances with artists and activists. For the 2025 Bannister Fletcher Fellowship, she organized workshops on “Imagining the Post-Museum,” with the Whitechapel Gallery, Mosaic Room and the Sarah Parker Remond Center for the Study of Racism and Racialization at UCL, London, and Cité internationale des arts and ULIP in Paris.

She is currently working on a film about anti colonial struggles in Reunion Island through her parents’ personal archives and her own.

She is editorial consultant for choreographer Benjamin Millepied’s Paris Dance Project, seats on the scientific council of Fondation pour la mémoire de l’esclavage.
