Check out this really lovely article on Deborah Willis’ current publication and touring exhibition, Posing Beauty: http://www.nyu.edu/alumni.magazine/issue13/13_feature_beauty.html Here are some installation views I made at the venue in NYC. My work is above right (you’ll recognize it from this blog’s header). It’s an interesting read—I can’t believe someone would tell Deb that it is inappropriate for a scholar to wear bright polish and lipstick!

  • 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.

      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]
