Last Rite (Limited Edition Print) Limited Edition of 50

Last Rite
Limited Edition Print by Nsenga Knight

A solemn tribute to a moment of radical faith and courage, Last Rite revisits the Islamic funeral of Malcolm X—an act carried out under threat, yet anchored in dignity. Nsenga Knight reworks a historic photograph into a lithograph layered with visual tension and emotional weight, capturing the bravery of figures like Hisham Jaaber and Betty Shabazz who honored Malcolm in his final rites.

With atmospheric distortion and rich black tones, the print evokes a sacred defiance—transforming collective grief into an enduring testimony of spiritual and political commitment. Knight’s composition reframes the scene not as epilogue, but as legacy: a powerful reminder that remembrance itself can be an act of resistance.
