Inhabiting, (Re-)Claiming and Holding Space for Black Female Identities in Beyoncé‘s Lemonade (2016)

von Rütte, Sabine (12 May 2021). Inhabiting, (Re-)Claiming and Holding Space for Black Female Identities in Beyoncé‘s Lemonade (2016) (Unpublished). In: Unlearning Racism. University of Bern. 12.05.2021.

In this lecture, I develop how Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade (2016) creates a space for a Black feminist imaginary that moves beyond the dominance of whiteness. Borrowing from Sara Ahmed’s “phenomenology of whiteness”, the notions of inhabiting, (re-)claiming, and holding space will be guiding us through the analysis of the visual album.
