SUMMARY:Wendel A. White: Manifest | Thirteen Colonies
DESCRIPTION:Manifest | Thirteen Colonies is the culmination of a multiyear journey by photographer Wendel A. White to find and document African American material culture in the libraries\, museums\, and archives of the thirteen original English colonies and Washington\, DC. This “personal reliquary of Black agency and racial oppression stored in public collections” includes both singular objects connected to significant figures (a lock of Frederick Douglass’s hair\, Malcolm X’s tape recorder) and more quotidian materials (a hair straightening comb\, a pressed corsage). Given the same photographic treatment—each object centered on a stark black background and captured with a shallow depth of field—the distinction between the “significant” and the “quotidian” dissolves\, as White makes it clear they are all important pieces of forensic evidence of Black life and history in the United States.

SUMMARY:Framing American Democracy - Rebel | Revolt | Resist
DESCRIPTION:Across time and geography\, wherever systems of domination have existed\, they have been met with resistance. Those subjected to oppression have never accepted their condition in silence; rather\, they have asserted their agency through organized uprisings\, collective struggle\, and quiet acts of defiance. The historical record affirms that rebellion\, resistance\, and revolution are not disruptions of the human story but essential forces within it—expressions of a universal impulse toward freedom and self-determination that affirm humanity’s collective demand for freedom as an inalienable right.
