"Photos don't just depict the self but are a procedure for self knowledge, a mode of thinking about the self. This identity work is deciding to remember something as quintessentially me, a choice, a performance, memorialized within the frame." -Nathan Jurgenson

Within an interdisciplinary practice of painting, sculpture, installation, film making, and performance art, Nikesha Breeze investigates the inter-relationality and resilience of the black and queer body in relationship to power, vulnerability, the sacred, and the ancestral. Her work is deeply ritual and process based, often employing her entire physical body into the action of her work. Originally from Portland, Oregon Nikesha Breeze lives and works in the high desert of New Mexico, she is an American born African Diaspora descendant of the Mende People of Sierra Leone, and Assyrian American Immigrants from Iran.

FA 381: Weeks 1-5, Theme: Place

As part of FA 381, Intro to Photography, we will be focusing on 3 different themes throughout the semester. During weeks 1-5, while learning basic camera fundamentals and formal / compositional techniques, we will also be focusing on the theme of place. Assignments include a semester long study of a specific place, a "photo" treasure hunt, and more. 

Art 21 currently allows access to all seasons including Sally Mann's segment about the importance of place in her photographic works.

Good Boy Series by Megan Rowe

Mega Rowe Final Project FA382 Intermediate Photography


Megan writes

"What happens to a moment after it is captured by a camera? These moments are gone, never to be lived again. What remains are the reproduced memories on a photograph. Good boy is a series that manipulates memories and gives them new meaning. By using old photographs and applying colored thread, these memories compel the audience to place new meanings to them."
