Redlining a Holocaust, Memorials and the People of the Afroatlantic: Wòch Kase Wòch

Part personal memoir, and inter-disciplinary reflection on the current human rights struggles of African descendants, the activist and photographer, Dòwòti Désir examines how personal and institutional memory are impacted by the monuments and memorials of the transatlantic slave trade. While she examines this crime against humanity, Désir stitches together African spirituality, art and geography in her interrelated essays. Photographs from the Americas, Europe and Africa, commemorate various sites visited over the course of more than a decade of travel. The work dares readers to rethink racial dynamics, spatiality, and the complex issues of Reparations.
