Carla Jay Harris starts with a photograph and builds an environment.

Her practice — photography, installation, collage, drawing — investigates how psychological space shapes who we understand ourselves to be. History is never static in her work. It's a room you can walk into, rearrange, and leave differently than you entered.

Her work is in Sacred Roots, Issue No. 4.

Mayowa Nwadike works in charcoal and acrylic, but what he's really examining is the space between what we show and what we carry.

His portraits centre Black emotional life — vulnerability not as weakness, but as the precise place where identity actually lives. Quiet compositions with a lot underneath them.

"The mother never forgets her child."

Delita Martin's work centres Black women — not as subjects to be observed, but as vessels of spiritual and historical memory. drawing, she constructs what she calls veilscapes: environments where the physical and spiritual exist in the same space.

She doesn't make portraits. She builds sites of remembrance.

"Black women have historically been marginalized and made small—physically and symbolically—so I work large to shift the power dynamics in the room."

Aghogho Otega's practice moves between documentary photography, filmmaking, and community work — treating the archive not as a place where things are stored, but as a place where things stay alive.

Born in 1994, he approaches culture as something that needs to be witnessed, not just recorded.

Adama Delphine Fawundu calls her practice Kpoto Patchwok — a framework of gathering, layering, and stitching fragments of memory, spirituality, and landscape together.

Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, raised in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, her work treats the body as archive. Not a metaphor — a methodology. History carried in material, in gesture, in land.

Her work is in Sacred Roots, Issue No. 4.
