“Something big is about to happen”: In Conversation with Endia Beal
“The history of photography for Black women is still being written. Photography, in general, was never designed for Black women to thrive,” Beal said.
Black women photographers are here. We are doing the work. We are continuing a thrilling narrative started by creatives like Endia Beal, Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, and LaToya Ruby Frazier to name a few.
So, buckle up. Something big is about to happen.
