"so much photography in the past revolving around black people are so violent in its imagery because it doesnt ask the subject how it feels. it doesnt ask the subject who doesnt even wanna be there what they are going through or how they wanna be perceived. so today, when we tell you, listen to US." - A WORD.
Dope series! Can’t wait to see the rest of the episodes.
Wow, perfect, beautiful, powerful, great great great documentary!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SO necessary. As a multidisciplinary artist and Executive Photographer for over 15 years I've seen and experienced many of the issues discussed by the featured artists. It's nice to have Black voices and perspectives breaking down the impetus behind their works. Thank you and all who contributed for this incredibly impacful series! An informative and moving presentation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾💯💯

Great stuff. For the whole series, I wish they wouldn't have messed up the photos with that blur at the top and bottom though.
Why don't this show come on more often, like in 2024?
