SELECTED INSTALLATION

Psalms for Black Girls, Emma Darnell Aviation Museum

2025

Psalms for Black Girls is a multi-dimensional exhibition that centers on the lives, presence, and power of Black girls, elevating them to sacred status within the gallery space. At the heart of this exhibition are monumental murals, which depict Black girls in moments of play, movement, and imagination. Rendered larger than life, these girls become icons of reverence and strength, their visibility undeniable and their significance impossible to overlook. By presenting these girls at such a monumental scale, I challenge the historical marginalization of Black women and girls, positioning them not just as subjects but as figures to be venerated. Their scale and presence on the walls transform them from passive representations into active, divine participants in the ongoing narrative of Black liberation and self-actualization.

Mural Installations, varying dimensions, (4) Jaquard Tapestries, 50 x 60 inches, 54 x 72 inches, 62 x 84 inches, 62 x 84 inches.
