2010 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Yaba will produce (1)ne Drop, a self-published creative presentation of photographs, personal narratives, and essays exploring the varied faces of Blackness—from the passé blanc Creole from New Orleans to the Puerto Rican Boricua of North Philadelphia. Her hope is that in visually displaying images of a wide variety of people who self-identify as ‘Black’, the book will challenge narrow, yet popular notions of what Black is and/or what Black looks like, moving away from definitions based on visual accessibility. To complement the book, Yaba will curate public exhibitions of the photographs featured in the book and host community dialogues on issues surrounding skin color politics.
