  • Toyin Ojih Odutola’s Visions of Power, Zadie Smith. “In their depictions of domination, the artist’s works, full of world-building and philosophy, do more than flip the script…. How can such systems be dismantled? Surely, as Audre Lorde knew, it is not by using the master’s tools.... [but with] a revolutionary humanism, neither assimilationist nor supremacist, in which the Manichaean logic of dominant/submissive as it applies to people is finally and completely dismantled, and the right of every being to its dignity is recognized.”
