Killmonger Tapestries
Description: Erik Stevens, AKA, Killmonger, for a moment at least was the Black Panther. His vision for Wakanda was far more deadly, but his cause gave a lot of us pause. Sometimes the villain is only villainous because of what has happened to them, and if events had played out differently in his life, there is no telling what kind of warrior or even leader he might have become.
Description: He was the villain, but his position and thinking was profound. What is preferable to bondage if freedom is unattainable? Nah, bury me in the ocean with my ancestors, because they knew death was better than bondage. Eric my war-mongering, world dominating, we didn't know you were Wakandan brother, you were deeply profound.
Description: Ok, so maybe he's our new anti-hero. Killmonger is a perfect caricature of the frustrations that so many people of color have felt throughout European colonial history. We may not approve of his methodologies, however we understand his pain and his passion. He didn't hold the throne long, but when he did, he burned it all! Here's to the late great former king of Wakanda, Erik Killmonger. KIllmonger's Revolt celebrates the passion of the oh so real Killmonger portrayed in Black Panther the movie. This stylized depiction of Killmonger is reminiscent of old Obama era campaign posters.
