(I once started to listen to him at a conference, and he was such a slow starter that I left, and later everyone raved about how great he’d been, so I’d recommend it!)

Kerry James Marshall’s mixed media works address the perspectives of
African Americans through references to popular culture, history, and
the civil rights movement. His work draws inspiration from art-
historical sources from the Renaissance to black folk art. Born in
Birmingham, Alabama, Marshall has a BFA and an honorary Doctorate
from the Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles. He has exhibited in the
United States, and at international exhibitions such as Documenta X.
In 1997 Marshall was awarded a MacArthur Foundation grant.

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.
