Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Land | Lineage is an in-depth text of my thoughts and tha artistic choices I make within my work. In my thesis I use tha concept of Black Ecology to understand art rooted in tha relationship between race and geography. Black culture and city spaces in proximity to natural landscapes, or edgelands, reveal tha social and physical conditions of a place where these two worlds collide and form distinct characteristics of site, sound, and human interaction.</p> <p>My research also focuses on tha theory of place-based works to reconceptualize the lost stories and complexities of city trauma and joy within my hometown of East St. Louis, Illinois. These works offer an alternative perspective of a place that is often misunderstood.</p>
