For NADA Miami 2023, we are pleased to present recent publications by Lizania Cruz, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Elliott Jamal Rasheed and Nontsikelelo Mutiti. As educators, instigators, and observers, each artist contextualizes their research and collections through a conceptual print practice: such as, Cruz's technique of sugar lift in etching to recreate her photograph of UNESCO’s Heritage Site Boca de Nigua Sugar Mill–the first sugar colonial mills in the Americas, noted with its slave rebellion in 1796; Mutiti use of her own family photographs, lithographs of images are never reproduced, only their backside; Robbins’ work is indebted to dust bowl imagery from American Gothic literature and Black WPA artists, to the queering and appropriation of animations such as Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse, to explicit narratives on race from the South to the Cowboys in the West; and Rasheed's blind drawing with photodeveloper that traces movement with time, as she states how can we be anything but learners in a world that is slowly revealing itself to us?
