“My work examines cultural, social and personal experiences while redefining themes of legacy, love, and labor within the Black community. My practice borrows from visual traditions ranging from photographic to figurative portraiture, photo documentation, and editorial conception. I’m visually inspired by the materiality of black culture and its expression as seen through music, fashion, and family history. It is important to tell stories of my community, which has been historically left out of the conversation.” —Myesha Evon

“I’m thinking about building the Pur·suit archive and how to care for and preserve queer histories. Pur·suit currently exists as a deck of playing cards with 54 unique photographs of queer womxn, trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people. The work is expanding in this current moment through additional portraits, interviews, and ephemera collection.” —Naima Green
Green is based in Brooklyn and currently selling the existing Pur·Suit archive on her website. She is also selling a print through FFS Photos (100% of the proceeds will go to The Movement for Black Lives) and a poster print through TRNK (100% of the proceeds will go to the Ali Forney Center).
