@staceyannchin had me laughing, crying, feeling scared, proud, confused, filled with joy, angry, strong, listen she shook me to my core and had me feeling ALL of the feels. And that beautiful embrace that she and @osopepatrisse shared at the end! ❤ I'm so happy @thinkwithreach and @colemjames were there with me and that we got to experience the entire evening together. I looked at them with tears in my eyes like "yoooo, I wasn't ready" #theprovacateurs #weareprovocative #bwaforblm #blacklivesmatter @blmlosangeles @caaminla (at California African American Museum)

This is our perception of the pervasiveness of racism. -/——/—////|\|\\\\\__\\___\\__\|||||||\_\__\_\\\\\\ Shattered, fragmented, pieces of us scattered across multiple lands with family across various continents. Our DNA still locked inside slave ships. Our DNA in bodies of raped indigenous women. Our bodies political. ///////////——-///-//—//—/—/———/\\|\\\\\\\\____\ our dna coded in shifting waves of instilled moments like petrified tree rings that tell us when the world experienced dry seasons and floods. Our bones the telling of ancestral pain. May we release our pain today giving thanks to our ancestors for our existence. #blessings #ancestralhealing #decolonize #black #bwaforblm photo by:Lehna @lehnaoftheislands fundraising for Groundswell @groundswellaxn https://www.instagram.com/dominicanslovehaitiansmovement/p/BpPYvKLFZog/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wjmi5mb1czk4

Empathy as an Ultimatum at Project Row Houses

Untitled, Ephemera Group of Black Women Artists for Black Lives Matter, 2017. Photos by Alex Barber, Courtesy of Project Row Houses. What a Living World Demands, Ephemera Group of Black Women Artists for Black Lives Matter, 2017. I’ve been thinking about empathy lately: How to generate it in myself and, maybe, as a byproduct, in others. My recent visit to Project Row Houses’s 46th round of exhibitions, Black Women Artists for Black Lives Matter at Project Row Houses, on view March 25 through June 4, introduced me to a new way to consider empathy: As an ultimatum. The simultaneously forceful and pleading statement “You gotta love us or leave us alone” is emblazoned on the front of the center row-house. It is an untitled work attributed to Ephemera Group of Black Women Artists for Black Lives Matter. Most of the artists in this round are New York-based, described as “a collective of Black women, queer, and gender non-conforming artists...formed in solidarity with the Black Lives
