About:
Harriet’s Wildest Dreams (Photography Exhibition)
Told through the lens of four different women photographers: Dee Dwyer, Cheriss May, Kyna Uwaeme, and Nyeusi Mwezi these vignettes follow the Black woman and the many waters she wades. Seeking to normalize and exalt her multifaceted existence, this collection of images explores sensuality, devotion, gratitude, glory, home, family, and self.
The title, Harriet’s Wildest Dreams, is borrowed from the D.C.-based abolitionist collective whose pilgrimage to the birthplace of their namesake [Harriet Tubman] sparked the creation of this exhibit. The caravan to Tubman’s home in Dorchester, Maryland, was a powerful reclamation of ancestral energy, organized for mothers who had lost children at the hands of police violence.
Curated from a submission of 100 images, these photos were selected and grouped in conversation with one another. They were scaled to two walls, 39 x 7ft and 6 x 7ft to create a more immersive, connective experience with the work.
