Black Lit 01
$120.00
While randomly playing with circles of colored fabric the unplanned vertical circle sequence of red, yellow, and black took form.
Black boldly took the place of green and everything that a, “Green Light,” stands for was replaced with the color BLACK.GO..GO..GO..not stop, not pause but a full forward proceed.
In addition to the traffic light parallel of GREEN & GO, a black light also exposes what is not visible to the naked eye.
Black Pace and Patti’s work since 2016 in Malawi/sub-saharan Africa both resources African women and exposes performative ally-ship and superficial diversity politics.
Every bag of the series is a derivative of Black Lit 1, possessing one or more black circles to act as a constant reminder to stand, learn, resource and elect BIPOC.
