A gateway to the NOIRES installation series, this book is an intimate and political diary written by Roxane Mbanga in French and English, describing the daily violence of racism and its repercussions on self-esteem, lack of knowledge of oneself and one’s own history. NOIRE.S condenses the artist’s research and thoughts, highlighting the stereotypes that confine black women and erase their individuality. It contains quotes from the books and films that shaped her when traditional education failed to show her the work of like-minded thinkers, intellectuals and writers who shared her interrogations, feelings and intimate memories.
