Miscegenated Family Album by Lorraine O’Grady.
O’Grady’s sister past away at 37 years old. Afterwards, on a trip to Egypt, O’Grady noticed a similarity between Egyptian faces and her sister’s. Particularly when she visited art museums, Nefertiti’s face resembled her sisters very much. O’Grady puts together images of Nefertiti with her sisters and creates a personal and historical piece of work, which touches on racism and imperfection in families, which was just as true hundreds and thousands of years ago, as it is today.
(looking over some artwork to give a tour on at tomorrow's teen night event at the brooklyn museum! & I love this piece)
