The artists featured in The Black Index-Dennis Delgado, Alicia
Henry, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, Titus Kaphar, Whitfield Lovell, and
Lava Thomas-build upon the tradition of Black self-representation
as an antidote to colonialist images. Their translations of
photography challenge the medium's long-assumed qualities of
objectivity, legibility, and identification. Using drawing,
sculpture, and digital technology to transform the recorded image,
these artists question our reliance on photography as a privileged
source for documentary objectivity and historical understanding.
The works featured here offer an alternative practice-a Black
index. In the hands of these six artists, the index still serves as
a finding aid for information about Black subjects, but it also
challenges viewers' desire for classification and, instead,
redirects them toward alternative information.
