Strands, Tracks & Naps, 2021
ThirdSpace Action Lab, moCa, Cleveland OH
The installation Strands, Tracks & Naps was a part of the multi-site group exhibition Imagine Otherwise curated by La Tanya S. Autry.
An exert from the curatorial Statement: “ Imagine Otherwise expresses the boundless and fierceness of Black imagination and love despite ongoing anti-black violence as it thinks with Christina Sharpe’s groundbreaking book In the Wake: On Blackness and Being…
Amber N. Ford’s detailed photographic attention to relationship of subjects and infinite patterning zooms in and out through Strands, Tracks & Naps. Reminiscent of a display of coiffures in a hair salon, lush color portraits, small studies, and collage superimposed on a dense close up of Passion Twist express the vast geography of Black ways of being.”
