The role of abstraction in the contemporary black avant-garde seems necessary as we are bodies that are mis-recognized, overly-recognized, put into tiny boxes as being X or Z... It's about stepping out of social and cultural constraints of "blackness" and into the imagined future, a refusal to adhere to the idea that we can be known"

-Dawn Lundy Martin, Associate Professor of Writing at the University of Pittsburgh and HDYSYIA? Collective collaborator.
