Free Memories: A Black Raleigh Archive
[Supported & Funded By VAE Raleigh & The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts]
"Free Memories: A Black Raleigh Archive" was birthed out of a desire to create a photographic archive of the Black residents of Raleigh. Through gentrification and many other factors, Raleigh is changing rapidly and it's important for Black Raleigh's identity to live on through it all. It's also important for Black people in Raleigh (and everywhere) to be depicted how they want to be shown instead of how some media and news outlets choose to show them; which is inhumane and very stereotypical most times.
More details & work coming soon.
