Episode #8: Feat. Legacy Russell – On Glitch Feminism
Ιn this episode of The Archipelago, Legacy Russell elaborates on the ideas expressed in the pages of “Glitch Feminism,” including the racialized construction of gender and the real life/digital world dichotomy, and provides a glimpse into her upcoming book “Black Meme.”
Legacy Russell is a writer, artist and curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem. In her 2020 book “Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto,” she proposes a practice that transcends categories of gender, race, and identity, negating their predetermined functions in the intersection of the digital and the physical.
