Abstract:
»This paper examines Kara Walker’s artwork, Possible Beginnings or: The Creation of African-America. Walker depicts an enslaved man who is impregnated with a cotton seed by a white man, and subsequently gives birth to a cotton plant. Drawing on Hortense Spillers and Riley Snorton, I argue that the transgender pregnancy and reproduction of the cotton plant forces us to question the biopolitical limits of the gendered and racial intersections of sexual violence in slavery. I show that Walker’s artistic interrogation of sexual violence ultimately questions if queer, trans, and interracial sexualities are ever able to achieve liberationist futures.«
