From Panther to Panther: Legacies of Resistance
Friday March 7, 2025 2:00pm - 5:00pm MST

On May 28, 2022, a historic conference took place outside Mumbai, India. The meeting brought
together leaders of the Black Panther Party and the Dalit Panthers, on the 50th anniversary of
the revolutionary group’s founding, which aimed to abolish caste-based discrimination in India.
This event symbolically and concretely solidified a connection uniting the anti-caste and anti-
racism movements, advocating for liberation that traverses borders.


Chicago-based SpaceShift Collective invites you to a multidisciplinary program, which explores
the profound influence of the Black Panther Party on the Dalit Panthers through story, sound,
performance, artmaking, and conversation. Featuring contemporary artists, activists, and
scholars who will reflect, through their own practices, on the global solidarity of oppressed
communities, “From Panther to Panther” underscores the cultural and ideological cross-
pollination between the two movements.


Together, we will expand our understanding of how the Black Panther Party’s advocacy for
Black empowerment, self-defense, and social justice resonated with the Dalit Panthers in their
own struggle for equality and dignity. We will pay tribute to these movements, whose legacies
continue to inspire the fight for transnational justice today.
