Anne Noir (b.2002)
A cartoonist and writer from New Orleans, Louisiana, who is currently based in Chicago, Illinois. Noir creates work that is fiction and auto-biographical fiction. Their work focuses on the interpersonal uncanny, futurism and black queer identity. The artist is an alumnus of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

As an artist I work primarily in ink, gouache, and watercolor. My practice focuses on comic making and writing. Working within the themes of Afrofuturism, life-writing and the metaphysical, my illustrations experiment with elements of horror and eeriness. I create atmospheres that leave the audience questioning and intrigued. My comics are sometimes autobiographical while others are science fiction, fiction, or fall within the category of graphic journalism. I appreciate how unserious you can be with comics and the endless amount of experimentation within the format. In terms of prose, I prefer formatting my writing as essays. Working within similar themes as my comics do, I expand on them by taking inspiration from sociologist and feminist texts.

PLASMODIUM SCRIPT ACT I  2024

Afrofuturism is defined as being a cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science, and history that explores the intersection of the African diaspora with science and technology. How I see it, Afrofuturism is taking a look at the past and present, seeing how that frames the future and imagining what that future looks like for black people. Looking at our world today, what it is and what it has been, I cannot imagine a world that exists without the violence that is misogynoir. Although I can envision a future full of technological advances, self-automating cars, thinner computer screens, and even different planetary living. I cannot picture a world that values and respects the black woman figure based on our current state of living. Understanding this I view any future involving human life to continue this axis of oppression as we develop the world. Viewing that misogyny, let alone misogynoir, is not a form of oppression that is taken seriously. I want to create a body of work that shows how this kind of mistreatment takes form in our lives and the structures that exist to keep it in place. How would this display itself even being surrounded by what seems to be a technological utopia?

My narrative revolves around a woman, living in a post-feminist world where humans live on the moon, discovers an unnerving truth about her husband. Robyn, the woman in question, accompanies her husband in this new environment after they meet in a bar on Earth. After years of being together Robyn has molded herself into a content but skeptical housewife. The couple who once lived on Earth, now occupies a home on the moon. On the surface of the lunar colony is a futuristic society, powered by synthetic clouds and sunlight. On it are humans who formerly populated Earth, now living in stylistic topia. On the moon live hordes of futuro pods, UFOs and other dome shaped homes. The world is sleek with whiteness and florescent hints of purple, blue and pink. Set amongst the vast darkness of outer space and the glimmering stars. Out in that darkness, aliens exist. A slimy slug-like parasite appears one day in the depths of the colony. These creatures subsist solely to live in the utmost comfort of their host. Having observed human society, they see patriarchy as a comfortable power system. They target men as their hosts. Finding their way into the body through the ear canal, slowly expanding throughout the entire nervous system. With the aliens taking root in their entire body, men are enabled to perform misogyny to a greater extent.
