“In my work I often utilize laundry lines not only as a poetic symbol but also as a reference to proverbial domestic space and the working Black body. I construct these laundry lines with an assemblage of different fabrics from various jersey cottons to linens to expensive silks. In them different colored fabrics can highlight and play up the fashion of my subjects. Many photographers and artists before me have used the symbol of the laundry line in this similar vein. For example Gordon Parks in his ‘A Segregation Story’ series. Here I have created an installation of my photographs as a laundry line in order to return the subject matter of a lot of my work back to its original source material.” - Tyler Mitchell @tylersphotos

After traveling as an undergrad in Europe in the 1960s and seeing virtually no black subjects, Barkley Hendricks began painting life-size oil portraits of friends and strangers in urban America that mixed a more serious message with satirical titles to his works.
“Conquering negative talk is a tough task, and varies per person. Being that ballet is such a self critical profession, it is very easy to get bogged down by negative words, or energy around you. It’s easy to look in a mirror and become destructive, allowing negative thoughts to override your drive, and growth. Personally, I’ve worked on reassurance within myself, and knowing that I am strong, worthy, and capable of facing any challenge placed in front of me. Having a support system, and safe space that reminds me of my worth has also helped me over the years.” - Jasmine Perry (Los Angeles Ballet)
