Abstract (English)

" Art zine made of mixed-media collage and prayerspells reclaimed from the New Orleans Public Library archives. These mugshot photos were captured in the early 20th century, between 1900’s-1920’s, and are likely the only photos which exist from these 110 Black women and girl’s lifetimes. Connecting them with images from space and the desert, geodes, floriography, and other spiritual symbols and technology - these women are offered safe passage to other worlds and possibilities where they may receive care, beauty, dignity, and memorial beyond what they ever imagined, what was made available to them here. The primary reclaimed text is from a 1933 Virginia Woolf novel. " -- Backcover of document
