"Conjuring Moments" by Glynnis Reed

Artist Statement:
The title of the exhibit, Conjuring Moments, comes from Black feminist scholar, Kameelah L. Martin’s writing on “conjure feminism,” a theory that centers Black women and our relationships with African spirituality and ancestral legacies. She defines a conjuring moment as the creative application of Black women’s ancient intellectual traditions and “an ‘identifiable point in the text where conjuring or
African-derived ceremonial practices occur and advance the narrative action.”
