I've been thinking a lot about Black people relationships with nature. I recently watched a documentary about a race massacre that happened in NC. Black people were murdered and banished from a town by white supremacists. They fled through the forests, swamps...

Really want to know more about the man on the left. The photo was made just a few years after President Woodrow Wilson, an ardent white supremacist, segregated the federal workforce.

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.

Okay, let me put joy on your timeline. So, this is a picture of the young man I photographed 5 years ago. He is standing in front of the photo I made of him. My artwork is a part of a public art project I did with Oonee. Oonee is a company that provides secure parking for people who use bikes, etc..

The new Grove PATH @ooneepod secure bike parking facility is coming along nicely, just outside the south PATH entrance/exit stairs. And is that more of the great work of Jersey City photographer Duquann Sweeney we see on its side, from his “We Outside” project?

The great African American photographer Beuford Smith joined the ancestors on June 7th. Examples of his work — poetic, passionate, political — are in major museums across the country. This video from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is a good introduction. m.youtube.com/watch?v=iWTJ...

I went to see Jack Whitten's exhibition at the MOMA. It's absolutely amazing. I took a few pictures of the artwork, but honestly, the pictures are incapable of showing the magnitude and soul of the artwork.

A great show-and-tell and discussion of small photo books, featuring Jason Fulford, Kris Graves, and Carmen Winant. I like tiny things, and I want to teach a class about miniatures of all sorts :)

Well my hospital art show really snuck up on me- but I got it together and had enough work to exhibit, so we'll call it a win. Nothing new on display, but it feels good to see these up!

It seems like every day that I wake up and I open this app. I see breaking news of "Israel strikes killed x amount of people in Gaza" Then I get myself ready for the day in a place where I pay too much for rent. And wonder when the genocide will end.

Donald Trump has welcomed white "refugees" from South Africa, claiming they face "genocide" as the country tries to address the ongoing legacy of apartheid. "This accusation of white genocide emanating from the White House is a conspiracy theory and a myth," says writer Andile Zulu.
