Momtaza Mehri: the limits of identity politics, symbolism and Beyoncé

This episode was picked and edited by Amrit Sanghera, one of the ICA’s Public Advisors.


What happens when powerful black women use their positionality to push their identity as cultural product or representational symbol, and how useful this is for the interests of working class Black women?


Momtaza Mehri explores the slipperiness of female power, agency and identification. She touches on the pleasures Black women experience in the symbolism and imagery of powerful figures such as Beyonce and Michelle Obama.


The recording was part of a series of Black feminist programmes exploring pleasure as a politics of refusal, recorded on 9 November 2019.


Editor: Amrit Sanghera

Mixing: Justin Tam
