BLACK MEME explores the construct, culture, and material of the meme as mapped to Black visual culture from 1900 to present day. Using archival media Russell explores the impact of blackness, Black life, and Black social death on contemporary conceptions of virality borne in the age of the Internet. Offering insight into Russell's ongoing research and work, this lecture will touch on some of the subjects within her book BLACK MEME: A History of Images that Make Us (Verso, 2024).
