   **Black Meme** by Legacy Russell delves into the profound influence of Black imagery on visual culture and technology.

2. 2. Glitch Feminism

   A Manifesto

   

   A short, incisive manifesto that reclaims the "glitch"—the digital error or misfit—as a generative strategy for marginalized people to resist and reshape rigid identity binaries and oppressive systems. Drawing on art, theory, and personal reflection, it frames the glitch as an aesthetic and political practice that celebrates fluidity, anonymity, and failure to create new possibilities for race, gender, and sexuality in online and offline worlds. It proposes queerness and Blackness as forms of glitch that expose the limits of normativity and imagines technocultural futures where bodies and selves escape containment, insisting on the liberatory potential of digital misfires.
