  • in the land of NOPE

    NOPE (a manifesto) by E. Jane

    I am not an identity artist just because I am a Black artist with multiple selves.

    I am not grappling with notions of identity and representation in my art. I’m grappling with safety and futurity. We are beyond asking should we be in the room. We are in the room. We are also dying at a rapid pace and need a sustainable future. 

    We need more people, we need better environments, we need places to hide, we need Utopian demands, we need culture that loves us. 

    I am not asking who I am. I’m a Black woman and expansive in my Blackness and my queerness as Blackness and queerness are always already expansive. None of this is as simple as “identity and representation” outside of the colonial gaze. I reject the colonial gaze as the primary gaze. I am outside of it in the land of NOPE.

    The composite color frames that make up this “right-eye” image consist of seven frames, taken with different color filters that were enlarged by 500 percent and then co-added using Adobe Photoshop to produce, in effect, a super-resolution panchromatic frame that is sharper than an individual frame would be. This panchromatic frame was then colorized with the red, green, and blue filtered images from the same sequence. The color balance was adjusted to approximate the true color of Mars.

  • Miami Herald on this season in the arts

    2020’s collision of crises reflected in artwork, on stages – and even on a billboard 
    George Fishman September 27, 2020 08:03 AM.

    Miami artist Adler Guerrier’s dramatic double billboard mural “claimed for living, for love and trouble” was commissioned for the exterior of the Design District’s Moore Building, where it will remain for the next several months. The work combines poetic text with graphics and subtropical flora to explore the uncomfortable issues of race and class while evoking comfort and communion in the shelter of natural beauty.
