Death’s Futurity
The Visual Life of Black Power
Death’s Futurity: The Visual Life of Black Power interrogates material and visual uses of death as an under-theorized performative intervention for thinking through revolutionary politics, the Black body, and radical print and documentary media. This work links state performances of antiblack violence in the U.S. during the Black Power era to resulting visual cultural productions to better understand how radical Black political practitioners imagined death as a generative means towards political liberation.
