“It took courage from Black people under surveillance to reappropriate their bodies, racialized for entertainment, personifying the killjoys of national racial pleasure and blemishing white space.”

Noémi Michel (@politique_de_la_voix) is an activist, anti-racist and feminist scholar. She is a member of the European Race and Imagery Foundation (ERIF), as well as of the Collectif Faites des Vagues (@faites_des_vagues, based in Geneva). She is a senior lecturer in political theory at the Department of Political Science of the University of Geneva. Her research and teaching interests are in the areas of post-colonial and critical race theory, with a focus on diasporic Black feminist thought. Her recent work has been published in Black Perspectives, Critical Horizons and Postcolonial studies. Her current research explores anti-racism in European public debates and institutions, and Black feminist theorization of political voice.

"Blackface, both as a practice and as an object of debate, not only consumes the attributes of people marked by racial difference, but also the very energies necessary to contest that violent consumption."

Listen to Karina Griffith (@karina_griffith_) read her quote about a blatant encounter with a performance of blackface at the carnival in Cologne. The video shows stills from her short film DIE UMZÜGE (English title: CRUDE PROCESSIONS), 2013, Super 8 film and video transfer to video, 7'10", colour, sound.
