“If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.” ––Combahee River Collective Statement.
I’m thrilled to share that Clouds of Joy (2021) is featured in Resting Our Eyes at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco. The exhibition, which centers the liberation of Black women through radical acts of rest and luxury, was featured in The Cut.
Curated by Tahirah Rasheed and Autumn Breon, my work is shown alongside Derrick Adams, Sadie Barnette, Traci Bartlow, Knowledge Bennett, LaKela Brown, Genevieve Gaignard, Ja'Tovia Gary, Lauren Halsey, Simone Leigh, Helina Metaferia, Ebony G. Patterson, Alison Saar, Lorna Simpson, Hank Willis Thomas, Mickalene Thomas, Adana Tillman, Leila Weefur, Carrie Mae Weems, and Deborah Willis.
Thank you to Tahirah, Autumn, the entire ICA SF team and supporters of the exhibition for their generous contributions.
