The image is a found one, coming from materials from the City of Austin. It's composition is notable in a few different ways, particularly in regards to its "universality." (I have come across similar presentations from the City of Houston and they look exactly the same! Do they all use the same PPT generator?)
What jumps out most is the usage of yellow skin tone, similar to emojis. How does this "neutral" nonhuman color signify an erasure of certain experiences by trying to purport that we're all the same?
Not really, I think the ethnographic engagements here are really powerful. However, I am interested to hear more about how people such as Kenneth come into contact with these images. Where are these presentations being made?
Image 3 and its attendant caption skillfully highlights the schisms between how the city of Austin imagines itself in anti-racist terms and the lived experiences of its African American residents. Just because you say it (or in this case, show it) doesn't make it so. The visualization also demonstrates how environmental injustice continues to persist not despite of liberal narratives and praxis, but because of them.
