'Sometime before 1585 in Bologna, Italy the woman on the cover of this book sat for a portrait... The legality of African enslavability had circulated around the Mediterranean for almost 150 years. Art historians don’t know who this woman is. They can’t.'

Thrilled that I made it on to the @raceandvisual list. My first presentation on “Franchise” was at their first conference, First Exposure in 2012. – at Washington, DC
For tonight’s Dark Room meeting we will be discussing @DrMChatelain’s new book Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America.

Currently filling me with life: the dicussion has popped off in our real world/remote @raceandvisual discussion of Saidiya Hartman’s #WaywardLives. Fam is eating real food in Zoom! I am having sad popcorn in my office.

#ForceandFreedom and how relevant these issues from the 1830s are **still** relevant... we may not have slavery but its spirit remains

I loved the way @kcarterjackson writes #ForceandFreedom- it’s such a compelling history text that weaves narratives together as an actual story @raceandvisual

this is sort of where i am at also. asking myself why documentary, why continue to think about what documentary can do/enable.

@raceandvisual some of you may be interested in this conversation between myself and brett story maker of the prison in twelve landscapes on humanitarian ethics and documentary politics facilitated by paige sarlin: poojarangan.com/wp-content/u…
The Dark Room retweeted
yes, certainly, and i hope the book is an invitation to see it elsewhere. i focused on documentary to draw out the mutual formation of the humanitarian and documentary impulses, but the ethical imperatives i identify can be seen in photography, fiction film, art...
The Dark Room retweeted
the title: i wanted to convey the way mediation is always involved in conveying immediacy. also wanted to think about this very impulse as the residue of the documentary impulse after the critical/deconstructive turn in documentary studies and practice
The Dark Room retweeted
all thanks to katherine smith, an art historian whose research i encountered while at brown!
