Notes
1 As much as it can be argued that these artists work through queer epistemologies, there are important queer critiques of both Akunyili Crosby's and Mutu’s work: Akunyili Crosby often reproduces heteronormative relations of power even while she presents more sex-positive imagery; Mutu has been interpreted as reproducing discourses of “sex negativity” (Hernandez Citation2017).
