Joining the growing Black creative movement, Bitter Kalli offers a nuanced exploration of the shared history between Blackness and horses, examining what equine imagery reveals about race, culture, and identity. Drawing from personal experiences and the work of Black artists and influencers, the essays delve into themes such as power, community, and historical connections to slavery and colonialism. Through playful, critical, and introspective reflections, Kalli challenges reductive stereotypes and considers the complex relationship Black people have with horses in both historical and contemporary contexts.
