In Listening to Images Tina M. Campt explores a way of listening
closely to photography, engaging with lost archives of historically
dismissed photographs of black subjects taken throughout the black
diaspora. Engaging with photographs through sound, Campt looks
beyond what one usually sees and attunes her senses to the other
affective frequencies through which these photographs register. She
hears in these photos—which range from late nineteenth-century
ethnographic photographs of rural African women and photographs
taken in an early twentieth-century Cape Town prison to postwar
passport photographs in Birmingham, England and 1960s mug shots of
the Freedom Riders—a quiet intensity and quotidian practices of
refusal. Originally intended to dehumanize, police, and restrict
their subjects, these photographs convey the softly buzzing tension
of colonialism, the low hum of resistance and subversion, and the
anticipation and performance of a future that has yet to happen.
Engaging with discourses of fugitivity, black futurity, and black
feminist theory, Campt takes these tools of colonialism and
repurposes them, hearing and sharing their moments of refusal,
rupture, and imagination.
