“As a Black woman filmmaker I feel that’s my job: visibility. And my preference within that job is Black subjectivity. Meaning I’m interested in the lives of Black folk as the subject. Not the predicate, not the tangent.[These stories] deserve to be told. Not as sociology, not as spectacle, not as a singular event that happens every so often, but regularly and purposefully as truth and as art on an ongoing basis, as do the stories of all the women you love.” FeelsArtStoriesHappensJobsBlackSubjectsEventsDeserveBasesFolksFilmmakerBlack WomenSociologyPreferenceOngoingSubjectivityVisibility Author:Ava DuVernay
“X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old. The X-Men are every rebel teenager wanting to change the world and make it better. Humanity is every adult, clinging to the past, trying to destroy the future even as he places all his hopes there.” MenWorldTryingStoriesPastHumanityStruggleAdultsTeenagerRevolutionaryChanging The WorldRebelSuperheroOngoingClingingX Men Author:Grant Morrison
