Book description
A dazzling hybrid of personal memoir and criticism, considering the work of Black visual artists as a means to explore loss, legacy, and the reclamation of life through art.At the age of twenty-one, Erica Cardwell finds herself in New York City, reeling from the loss of her mother and numb to the world around her. She turns inward instead, reading books and composing poetry, eventually falling into the work of artists such as Blondell Cummings, Lorna Simpson, Lorraine O'Grady, and Kara Walker. Through them, she communes with her mother's spirit and legacy, and finds new ways to interrogate her writing and identity.Wrong Is Not My Name weaves together autobiography, criticism, and theory, and considers how Black women create alternative, queer, and "hysterical" lives through visual culture and performance. In poetic, interdisciplinary essays--combining analytical and lyrical stream-of-consciousness--Cardwell examines archetypes such as the lascivious Jezebel, the caretaking Mammy, and the elusive Sapphire to formulate new and inventive ways to write about art.Pioneering and inquisitive, Wrong Is Not My Name celebrates Black womanhood, and illuminates the ways in which art and storytelling reside at the core of being human.
