A Poetic Lesson on Black Anatomy (2023)
A poetic journey through the anatomy of the Black body.
Blackness is hard to summarize. It has many meanings, nuances, and tones. Blackness is intrinsically poetic and diasporic. It is always shifting and transforming, it is never static, and never one-sided.
This project is an ode to Blackness, and specifically to Black Anatomy. Black bodies take so many different shapes, shades, and forms, and yet they all share mystical, ancestral poetry. Historically, Black bodies have been reduced to stereotypes, but they are much more complex than superficial generalizations.
“A Poetic Lesson on Black Anatomy” intends to serve as a new glossary to describe the Black Body through poetic imagery and words.
