On Rematriation and Spiritual Reparations
From Edouard Manet’s nineteenth-century painting Olympia to Hollywood’s Academy Awards, a familiar pattern resurfaces. Writer Stephanie Tinsley argues that Western art and cinema repeatedly frames white women’s sexual liberation through the appropriation of Black femininity – a phenomenon she calls the “Olympia Effect.” Citing two recent films, Zola (2021) and Anora (2024), Tinsley remarks how stories about sex work and modern womanhood are rewarded with cultural legitimacy only when centering a white damsel.

This article discusses works by the U.S. American multidisciplinary artist of Dominican decent kiarita as visual explorations of the political potential of rest. Synthesising various branches of Black studies and decolonial thought, rest is positioned as a means of grieving the past and present trauma of racial capitalism, of evading and ‘un-doing’ its authority over one’s mind and body, and of conceiving an alternative future.
