Sermon of the Nonresponse is a published transcription of the commencement speech that Fred Moten delivered to the Yale School of Art 2018 MFA class.

“Part of what’s at stake is something like that refusal of personality of which the great critic Hortense Spillers speaks that might very well spur the simultaneous destruction and rebuilding of art school, recognizing now that art school, if it ever means what it should mean, means nothing less than life on earth in the intensity of what my friend Laura Harris calls its aesthetic sociality.”
