Ghost Stories: Towards a Surrealist, Black Feminist Body Politic
Files
Abstract
Drawing from Black feminist and radical thinkers including Audre Lorde, David Drake, Nikki Giovanni, bell hooks, Toni Morrison, and Octavia Butler, this project explores themes of embodiment and liberation, through the lens of a "ghost perspective", asking: how can the catharsis of dealing with feeling “unalive” as Black bodies actually help one feel more embodied, less alone, and better able to live authentically?
