raw fruit
Raw Fruit examines legacy, identity, socialization, unity, and friction inside the Black family dynamic. It interrogates the impact of race, class, gender and sexuality on maternal relationships and illuminates how the retention of cultural values, morals and taboos have shaped our current existence.
Boschimanne:living curiosities
Boschimanne:living curiosities explores the story of Sara “Saartjie" Baartman with a focus on the exhibition of the African American female body and the establishment of European ideas of black female sexuality. It investigates the scientific and philosophical assumptions of black women which emerge in representations of savage sexuality, degradation and racial inferiority.
taken
Taken is inspired by the historical epidemic of absent fathers in African American families and communities. It wrestles with the educational and economic disparities that fuel the well-oiled criminal justice machine, which continues to disproportionately imprison young Black men, leaving Black children growing up without Black fathers. It ultimately challenges the negative images, stereotypes and assumptions that perpetuate systemic racism.
