An Annotated Bibliography for Principled Rage
2:00 min archival assemblage short
director, producer, editor
summer 2022

This short assemblage layers archival stills and videos from cultural moments that have significantly triggered moments of rage or memories of rage for the artist. The visual annotations were edited to the sonic rhythm of Saidiya Hartman’s questioning of female visibility in the black liberation movement. The compilation of these artifacts was a releasing practice from the shame of feeling anger.

As a self identified CIS queer woman, the artist observes her hesitancy to share the consistent flowing subconscious rage towards cultural practices that uphold patriarchal and state violence. And further questions why it feels unfavorable in her body to express this anger without the practice of an intellectual or protected “art” formed expression. In reality this is a baby step. A false but honest practice to explain to her self and whom ever is willing to engage that she is indeed fucking pissed. Most if not all of the time. And in her anger she feels principled, justified and autonomously defined as an angry Black woman.
