This is the fifth and final piece in a series of ink drawings that explore the themes of Black radical leisure, restorative justice under fascism, and joy. This series was inspired by the casual practice throughout the USA of both attending the lynchings of strangers and commemorating the act with sending a postcard of the lynching to your loved ones back home. The goal of this series is both to explore these themes but also to flip the apathy and violence against Black bodies, both current and historical, back onto the bodies of our oppressors.

This piece in particular focuses heavily on the theme of restorative justice under fascism and a possible outcome of that process. Restorative justice is often seen as a non-violent resolution to interpersonal conflict, but how is that process impacted when the party you are in conflict cannot and will not humanize you? Is it possible to engage in non-violent conflict resolution? Is it even dignified to make that attempt or is the non-violence adhered to as a way of maintaining a sense of moral superiority over our oppressors? What value does that moral superiority afford us in revolution?
