I’m excited to be part of this virtual group exhibition in Woman Made Gallery that is on view from September 4-27. "Every loss that we experience is individual, and how we navigate through it is also a varied experience. Those around us may try to comfort us in various ways, but often don’t know what to say or do, because we all experience grief or loss in different ways. Not only that, when we think of loss in the broader since of the word, that can encompass a great many other things. With the advent of Covid-19, some people are experiencing loss in the form of loved ones, jobs, divorce, businesses, independence, travel, family celebrations, and so on. How has loss impacted you?" -Felicia Grant Preston , Curator
Notations Series Instagram essay @a_jamilla
Instagram essay of Notations Series by Amber Jamilla Musser
“The place where these images and words meet can always only be specific to every person’s history and memory; an elusiveness that illuminates the instability that all representation is built on. Words and images are always fictional attempts to produce communication.” Amber Jamilla Musser is is an Associate Professor of American Studies at George Washington University, who writes about race, aesthetics, and sexuality and is the author of Sensational Flesh: Race, Power, and Masochism (NYU, 2014) and Sensual Excess: Queer Femininity and Brown Jouissance (NYU, 2018). Her brief essay about my Notations series is on her Instagram @ a_jamilla.
