In Death’s Futurity Sampada Aranke examines the importance of
representations of death to Black liberation. Aranke analyzes
posters, photographs, journalism, and films that focus on the
murders of Black Panther Party members Lil’ Bobby Hutton, Fred
Hampton, and George Jackson to construct a visual history of the
1960s and 1970s Black Power era. She shows how Black radicals used
these murders to engage in political action that imagined Black
futurity from the position of death. Photographs of Hutton that
appeared on flyers and posters called attention to the condition of
his death while the 1971 documentary The Murder of Fred Hampton
enabled the consideration of Hampton’s afterlife through visual
meditations on his murder. Printmaking and political posters
surrounding Jackson’s murder marked the transition from Black
Power to the prison abolition movement in ways that highlighted the
relationship between surveillance, policing, incarceration, and
anti-Black violence. By foregrounding the photographed, collaged,
filmed, and drawn Black body, Aranke demonstrates that corporeality
and corpses are crucial to the efforts to shape visions of a Black
future free from white supremacy.
