They Will Know You By Your Fruit
Synopsis
Violence affects Black women on multiple levels. This photo and short film series explores the sadistic assault on our bodies and our ancestors, and the trauma passed on through the generations. The words accompanying these images are meant to invoke the stories present in our DNA and through our own lives. This was a significant process of working through transgenerational distress, and the toll it still takes upon us.
