Okay Ladies Now Let's Get In Formation (for cop 3)

Initially I was going to look at the representation of the black female and queer image in western art compared to today.
But after the lecture with Chris the library head I realised this was long and convoluted.
Very long and convoluted. 
So I thought 'hey lemonade just came out, a unapologetic look at the black female form as represented by a black woman ace!'

But the issue there is lemonade is full of such complex imagery, music poetry,and spoken word that it in itself is a very complex topic that would take over the entire dissertation without even scratching the surface.

So I've decided to use Nicki Minaj's Anaconda Video to look at the reclamation of the black female body.

It will allow me to defence things like lemonade, the black venus, malcom x, feminism, historical representation of black women in art and philosophy, while keeping it a lll focused on one main point of context.
