- The 2016 release of Beyoncé’s audiovisual albumLemonadeheightens the need for the development of a black women’s horror aesthetic. The visuals are suffused with the presence of Santeria’s orishas, Vodou’s loas, and West African monstrous goddesses such as Mami Wata. The chapter "Anger" features the words of poet Warsan Shire being read by Beyoncé over the black and white visuals featuring a circle of black women dressed in white and writhing in the manner of one large, amorphous being. The audiovisual construction focuses on the problematic indistinguishability of one black woman from another by those who render them invisible
