NUBIAN KNIGHTS NETWORK -WRITINGS ON MY BLACK WALL-: CAFE 2009 Cultural Arts Festival & ExpoColumbia, South Carolina

BLACK

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race, but also its meanings as just the color- or lack of color- or specific materials and their own histories, and trying to confuse that a bit."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil
