These artists use visual strategies such as blurring the boundaries between past and present, invoking ancestral presence, and engaging with African diasporic traditions to create a visual archive that reclaims and celebrates the histories and identities of Black Americans. Their work is a response to the ongoing legacies of systemic racism and violence that continue to affect Black communities. By creating these visual memoirs, they offer a corrective gesture that challenges the erasure and marginalization of Black experiences and histories.
