Afro-Paradise

Christen Smith describes the paradoxical space between the consumption of black bodies (for pleasure, for entertainment, for production) and the economy of terror and death that anti-blackness produces transnationally. This project is a meditation on this reality and an attempt to undo its dangerous effects. http://www.afro-paradise.com/
