deep gratitude to adama delphine fawundu and the world she has gathered in praise house - a meditation on devotion, inheritance, the sacred labour of remembering. to sit in conversation with this work felt like entering a space built by the hands of women who understood survival as both ritual and art.
thank you to chiara figone of archive books + kennedy jones whose commitment continue to make impossible things material.

Fawundu’s ritualized immersion in the Great Salt Lake grounds the exhibition in the ecological realities of the American West. As the lake recedes and its exposed bed releases toxic dust into surrounding communities, water becomes both absence and warning. In Utah, lithium extraction and mineral economies echo the extractive logics that have shaped the Congo for generations. By entering the saline water in a gesture of ritual care, Fawundu links inland drought to global mineral demand, reminding viewers that the infrastructures of technology and industry are tethered to fragile bodies of water. Salt preserves, yet it also signals depletion. The Great Salt Lake and the Congo River become unlikely mirrors, each bearing the mark of extraction."

About ENGAGE!
Three days of dialogue, learning, and a curated set of programs featuring keynote speaker Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein and more!
ENGAGE! brings together scholars, artists, performers, curators, and scientists for a dynamic convening over three days of dialogue, learning, and interactive activations. Inspired by the groundbreaking exhibition UNBOUND: Art, Blackness & the Universe curated by Key Jo Lee, the gathering invites our audience to excavate how we can reimagine Blackness not as fixed or earthbound, but as infinite – expansive, unknowable, and cosmically rich. The exhibition asks: What if we approached Blackness with the same wonder we bring to the universe? What if, like a black hole or distant star, Blackness could be a site of mystery, power, and transformation?

Building on the notion of ‘praise,’ Adama Delphine Fawundu frames this book as a celebration of life. She honors the stories whispered to her by her mother; she adorns her body in her grandmother’s textile work; she elevates the memory of various named and unnamed Black women of the diaspora and documents the iconic small Civil War era styled white wooded praise house on a patch of land off the side of a road in South Carolina not far from Beaufort creating an intimate body of work of color photography of an interconnected history.
This book about female figures—grandmothers, mothers, daughters, artists, caregivers, storytellers, and cooks—explores a range of emotions that consume us about family life and history. It is both an art book and a memoir. Viewing it brings us face to face with known and unknown cultures and introduces us to various art practices shared, taught, and learned through the African diasporic traditions. Fawundu connects to the self through history, joy, and beauty and offers the reader ways to navigate fear based on migration and loss. It is a gift, too, as it allows us to imagine alongside the artist.

Link to order:
A multidisciplinary artist, Fawundu’s process uses ritualistic, Indigenous body memory to tether the living and the ancestral. With the understanding that water is a portal, her body becomes a vessel or container of memory that traverses space and time. Traveling to different countries in the diaspora, Fawundu builds a living archive of ora, hair, rafa, cowrie shells, mud, sand, stones, chalk, calabash, dried leaves, and herbs that inform her mixed media assemblage works. Her practice is materially dense yet spiritually porous to allow for ancestral and Indigenous intelligence to become embodied and manifest in every aspect of her work.
She is subsumed by memories that are
carried through water—which she traces from one aqua vein to another in a circulatory ancestral system that unifies the diasporic body—plunging herself into bodies of water in various countries of the diaspora in meditative rituals. Her rituals then become immortalized in her photographs and films, providing cultural continuity for communities stripped of their ties to history and robbed of their memories and bodies.
