Freedom Must Also Die
This article considers what we might gain from premising reparative frameworks on the notion of ephemerality. Engaging with multimodal artist Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro's notion of “perishable spaces of freedom,” it argues that Black women (cis, trans, femme) provide insight into the temporality (including the temporariness) of reparative frameworks by demonstrating how death, transmutation and transfiguration are necessary elements of any repar…

In 1816, an expedition to Africa, commanded by Captain James Tuckey (1776–1816), set out on HMS Congo, accompanied by the storeship Dorothy. The aim was to discover more about African geography - of which relatively little was then known - and in particular the connection between the River Congo, also known as the Zaire, and the Niger Basin. The mission failed when eighteen crew members, including Tuckey, died from virulent fevers and attacks by …
