Littoral

“I am not interested in rescuing Black being(s) for the category of the “Human”, misunderstood as “Man”, or for the material conditions that they re/produce continue to produce our fast and slow deaths. I am interested in seeing and imagining responses to the terror visited on Black life and the ways we inhabit it, are inhabited by it, and refuse it. I am interested in the ways we live in and despite that terror. By considering that relationship between imaging and imagining in the registers of Black annotation and Black redaction, I want to think about what these images call forth. And I want to think through what they call on us to do, think, feel in the wake of slavery—which is to say, in an ongoing present of subjection and resistance.”
