curating #blackgirlquarantine.
Reelaviolette Botts-WardPublished in: Medical anthropology quarterly (2023)
This autoethnographic visual essay narrates a Black feminist praxis of ancestral collage-making within my curation of #blackgirlquarantine: an exhibition of blackwomxnhealing in the wake of 2020 1 (BGQ). I detail my spiritual, affective, and embodied journey of stretching collage art to make room for memorializing the lives of Black womxn and girls who are no longer here to tell their stories. I write at the intersection of healing, memory, and mourning, and merge a Methodology for the Black Feminist Sacred 2 with visual anthropology and digital humanities to read creative rituals of digital altar work as text.
