In Visitation, Jennifer DeClue shows how Black feminist avant-garde
filmmakers draw from historical archives in order to visualize and
reckon with violence suffered by Black women in the United States.
DeClue argues that these filmmakers-including Kara Walker, Kara
Lynch, Tourmaline, and Ja'Tovia Gary-create spaces of mourning and
reckoning rather than voyeurism and pornotropy. Through their use
of editing, performance, and cinematic experimentation, these
filmmakers intervene in the production of Blackness and activate
new ways of seeing Black women and telling their stories.
Theorizing these films as a form of conjure work, DeClue shows how
these filmmakers raise the specters of Black women from the past
and invite them to reveal history from their point of view. In so
doing, Black feminist avant-garde filmmakers channel spirits that
haunt archives and create cinematic arenas for witnessing Black
women battling for survival during pivotal and exceedingly violent
moments in US history. Duke University Press Scholars of Color
