Living Archive, Gouache on Canvas paper, 9×12 in.
“Living Archive” was created in honor of Juneteenth. In a time where our history is being challenged, erased, rewritten, and forgotten, we remain the Living Archive.
This piece reflects on freedom, identity, resilience, and the foundation Black Americans have laid within this country through labor, creativity, imagination, culture, and hope. A reminder that our fingerprints are embedded into the very fabric of this nation. Within the portrait you can find the Adinkra symbol Fawohodie- a representation of emancipation, freedom, and independence. The placement of the Adinkra symbolizes not only physical freedom, but mental and spiritual freedom as well.
