Freedom Farm Dreams, 2020 (Edition 14)
Ink on paper

“In my work as an afrofuturist, I practice the concept of Sankofa, or looking to the past to help guide your future. For this piece, I learned about Fannie Lou Hamer's efforts as a food justice organizer, uplifting her community towards agricultural self-sustainability. I hope for all people to have freedom farm dreams where they are able to witness the fruits of their labor and cultivate a relationship with the land.”
