Red Dirt & Pot Liquor
Tracing Legacy & Memory of Black Women
Welcome To Red Dirt & Pot Liquor
Tracing Legacy & Memory of Black Women
RDPL is a storytelling archival project. RDPL will unpack themes associated with memory, and legacy. The artist will collect and archive audio stories from Black women elders from the Newark area. Together they will create a group quilt consisting of traditional quiltmaking materials, audio and video stories and songs, shadow box stories, and other immersive mediums.
“I still look good. I appreciate and enjoy my age. A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are."
