- Summary:
- "In this episode, we feature Legacy Russell, the writer, curator, and Executive Director and Chief Curator of The Kitchen, an artist-driven non-profit space in New York City. As a cultural critic she has published the books Glitch Feminism (Verso Books, 2020) and Black Meme: A History of the Images that Make Us (Verso Books, 2024), which questions how we define Blackness through mediated material. For the podcast, Russell reads from Lorraine O'Grady's iconic essay "Olympia's Maid: Reclaiming Black Female Subjectivity," first published in Afterimage in 1992, and collected in New Feminist Criticism: Art, Identity, Action (Routledge, 1994). Russell speaks with Sky Goodden about her relationship to O'Grady's essay-one that "came before its time and carried us into the future"-and touches on the central conceit that perhaps also explains its controversy: "Lorraine truly believed in a culture that would allow for contestation." But, Legacy reflects, perhaps our culture hasn't caught up to her yet."-- provided by distributor.
