Episode 4 | Poetics in sexuality
Always having social issues as background, two works examine the relations concerning to desire and culture. The darker side of black is a provocative take on the complex issues of macho rituals, misogyny, homophobia, and glorification of guns in the more radical subgenres of rap and reggae. The Attendant is set in Wilberforce House, a British museum dedicated to the history of slavery. The plot revolves around the sexual fantasies that a young white visitor arouses in a black middle-aged museum attendant.
