“Radical Imaginaries: An Exploded View” is a digital art installation exploring the progression from a modern, essentialist black female subjectivity, towards one that is fluid, postmodern and radical. Grounded primarily in theories from black female intellectuals bell hooks and Melissa-Harris Perry, the installation sets out to visualize the destruction of the “Crooked Room” ( a theoretical space wherein black female subjectivity is regulated and circumscribed), and the concomitant creation of an alternate space wherein blackness is manifested in new and exploratory ways.
