"Half Pint Pygmy" draws inspiration from early animation and cinema to critique how Black characters have been depicted as subhuman or animalistic. The piece reinterprets an old cartoon poster, revealing the casual racism that was once a staple in entertainment. By placing these images in a new context, I want to spark discussions about how the media has perpetuated harmful stereotypes and emphasize the need to rethink these portrayals in today's culture.
