I choose my friend Chizi who is Ghanaian and represents kindness and strength. I want to show the viewer what if means to have pride in the African diaspora . I ant you the viewer to as the question, What does Blackness brings to making and viewing art, and to perception in general.?by panting Chizi, I have learned to think about the interplay between Black art and the ways we exist in the world. Rather than tethering racial identity to a characterized way of looking, the Black gaze is a path of discovery and approach to visuality.
