I talk, read, and think about art & politics quite often. Here are some texts, materials, and theories that ground me in my work.
notes
Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown is a text with so many gifts. As an artist, I love re-approaching this book as a guide to rethink how we can create bonds outside the creative process but get to a place where we think we can collaborate through our shared humanity
notes
Words of Fire: An Anthology of African-American Feminist Thought edited by Beverly Guy-Sheftall is a seminal text for disparate voices of Black feminist thought. This book is a great introduction of pioneers in Black feminist and womanist theories. There’s not shortage of opinions and I return to this book as a means to re-evaluate my own foundation, ethics, and values as a Black + woman + creative.
notes
FlyBoy 2: The Greg Tate Reader by Greg Tate is a collection of criticism that covers pop culture, politics, and culture in the most delicious way. The late great Tate doesn’t give a damn about formalities. He dives into his thoughts in the most decadent way with sniper-like precision. Tate’s words reminds us that we can be caring but don’t have to be delicate in the way we adore, question, and analyze the world around us.
notes
How To Go Mad Without Losing Your Mind by La Marr Jurelle Bruce blew my mind wide open with a means of reconceptualizing Black creativity outside of traditional consumption or means that are easily defined. This book marries mad studies and Blackness in the most exciting way that traces a long lineage of Black artists who consistently defied norms.
notes
In the Wake: On the Blackness and Being by Christina Sharpe is a fundamental book on how I think about water, ancestral remembrance, and the connective tissue that holds the Black diaspora.
