This article examines the transmedia work of writer and media maker Antonio Dikele Distefano through an analysis of the politics and aesthetics of Blackness and its (in)visibilities in Italy. Specifically this paper considers how this artist inhabits and disrupts existing narratives of belonging and negotiates the racialized terms of the Italian imaginary.
