Deana Lawson: An Aperture Monograph

Deana Lawson: An Aperture Monograph is a striking visual exploration of black expressive culture. Over the last ten years, photographer Deana Lawson has created a unique visual language to describe identities through intimate portraiture and accounts of ceremonies and rituals. This monograph features forty-five beautifully reproduced photographs alongside an extensive interview with filmmaker Arthur Jafa. The work seeks to portray both the personal and the powerful in black life, capturing the African Diaspora's expressive culture.
