COMMUNITY MEMOIR + ARCHIVE
Chicago, IL
Exile Archives. Buffet Faculty Fellowship (25-)
Collaborative work with Ghanaian institutions to digitize fragile archives and translate contemporary art exhibitions into curricula so that they might facilitate the permanence of forms of knowledge that are typically more temporary.
Common Archives: A Celebration of Black Neighborhood Life. DCASE (23-)
A record and exhibition of Chicago’s last, Black-led housing co-ops, documenting oral histories, artifacts, and everyday acts of resistance against gentrification. A central goal of this collection is to celebrate Black neighborhood life.
A two-decade body of writing by formerly incarcerated Black mothers, whose reflections on care, labor, and survival offer radical interventions into carceral studies and feminist theory. This collection is intended to archive women who are seemingly “undeserving” of it.
