A note on the Stono Rebellion<\/a> image from the artist: \u00a0\u201cCritical Places<\/i> is essentially about how the rebellions of the enslaved are\u00a0remembered (or not remembered) in the landscape. Through my witnessing of these places in my photographs, I am bringing forward\u00a0how these rebellions still echo in social patterns and economic structures. \u00a0What we see the case of the Stono Rebellion is the\u00a0emergence of the trope of the Black man as \u201cfeared, violent, irrational.\u201d Other rebellions are early examples of how power\u00a0controls information, excessive Police violence, the lack of the Black voice in the telling of our history, the minimization of the\u00a0woman\u2019s roll, and so on and so forth.\u201c<\/p>\n
