This forthcoming essay for a Spring 2026 issue of Liquid Blackness explores Spectral Keepers, a traveling work by Sandra Mujinga. In attending to the work’s cloudy use of neon green, which envelops and bleeds beyond gallery space, I explore black spectrality and fugitivity through metaphysical terms of light and color.

A peer-edited book chapter within a collection entitled
Madwomen in Social Justice Movements, Literatures, and ArtJ edited by Jessica Lowell Mason, Nicole Crevar. The chapter explores the relationship between black (femme) radical consciousness, cinema, and what Katherine McKittrick calls “the demonic grounds”: a demonic spatialization of blackness as produced through Whiteness historically encountering the “racial other”. I therein read exorcism as an embodied spiritual technology that corresponds with black political consciousness.
