“Votes for Women: The Fight Goes On”
Marjorie Guyon, Artist
“I Was Here – Reshaping the American Commemorative Landscape”
This is a public art project that features images of contemporary African-American men, woman and children, turned into Ancestor Spirit Portraits in a collaboration between artist Marjorie Guyon and photographer Patrick J. Mitchell with interwoven words from poet Nikky Finney and Barry Darnell Burton. These portraits, acting as a living memorial to the enslaved persons bought and sold, are installed on roman blinds in windows of businesses across the country. There’s a poetic irony in using blinds to open our eyes and minds?
