Lydia Douglas: Cultural Reflections of the African Diaspora
This Maryland-based fine art photographer points her lens at people of African ancestry in a desire to create portraits “that are honest.” The photographs capture everyday people in places like Jamaica, Cuba, New York City and Maryland. The works present a globalized vision of African American history and culture—a vision that interrogates the “African” in African American and reconsiders the term “American,” to include peoples beyond our national boundaries.
