Inspired by her explorations with archival materials related to Ethel Ennis, Billie Holiday, African American real photo postcards, and other special collections at the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries, de la Brown's exhibition contained video, photographic self-portraits, and site-specific performances which addressed culturally significant and deeply introspective questions: How many Black women are living in archives? What happens to us when we are invisible? How can I feel seen, and safe, as a Black woman?

Presented in partnership with the Winston Tabb Special Collections Research Center and Hopkins at Home
