queen nappy

Queen Nappy allows me to transform the complexity of personal experiences in my world into a poetic dialog. She is my audacious surrogate that concentrates on racial slurs reported by the current media, bringing contemporary events into context with history.

Living vicariously through Queen Nappy allows me to scrutinize my surroundings. Queen Nappy reigns over subjects that are consider taboo.

I juxtapose Queen Nappy with collages of racist dialogues, printed text, images, video and performance from history, popular culture, and contemporary events into a visual context.
