A woman-of-color who writes poetry or paints or dances or makes movies knows there is no escape from race or gender when she is writing or painting. She can’t take off her color and sex and leave them at the door or her study or studio. Nor can she leave behind her history. Art is about identity, among other things, and her creativity is political.

Yinka Shonibare collage: After delving into the Whitechapel’s archives, Yinka Shonibare created a collage using images from the gallery’s past, among them David Hockney and Picasso’s Guernica, and entwined them with representations of today’s East End – an image of hip-hop artist Dizzee Rascal and some sumptuous West African prints.

Photographer Pat Ward Williams photographer speaking on her pursuit of a BFA degree in photography at the age of 29. She discusses how her entrance into academia came on the tail end of a 9 year marriage. She states, “…in fact my husband gave me my first camera. I got rid of the husband and kept the camera”.
Her work is highly political and explores race, gender, violence upon Black bodies, and familial histories. She works between photography, installation, and public projects. Ward Williams was also a participant in the Photo-Active Feminist series organized in the 1998 and 1999. I recently re-engaged with her work after reading the exhibition catalog for “Constructed Images, New Photography” (1989) organized by Kelly Jones and Deborah Willis.
