Really interesting ideas about connections between visual epistemologies and notions of evidence—what is not attended to because it is not *seen*? @kgbain #mithdd
Eric Garners saying "I can't breathe," is more of a condition of his life than it is of his death. - @Kgbain Life for Black people in the United States is vulnerable. #mithdd
Racialization gets embedded not only in the skin, a visual sign, but also in other ordinary processes of the body (like breathing)—through which slow violence unfolds @kgbain #mithdd
