Sacred Ironworks is an ongoing photographic research project. I am asking a question. what symbols hold memory in my historically black neighboorhood? The photos below are of Atlanta, Ga , Eatonville, Fl (the home-place of Zora Neale ) , Selma, AL ( Bloody Sunday) , Montgomery, AL ( Rosa Parks home ) , Memphis, TN, New Orleans, LA, Puerto Plata + Grand Bahama ( racialized capitalism)
Memory lives in places and objects. The images help share the stories. When the environment is destroyed and our cultural artifacts buried, the Seers read the symbols.
