‘Reclaiming Indigo’ by

For this Juneteenth, photographer offers a powerful visual reflection on the roots of American denim and its connection to Black history. At the heart of the work is indigo, a dyeing practice introduced to the U.S. by enslaved Africans, whose expertise was exploited to build wealth for others.

This series reclaims that narrative. Through intentional styling and rich, analog textures, honors the ancestral knowledge that shaped one of fashion’s most iconic fabrics. Reclaiming Indigo speaks to the resilience of Black communities. Turning what was once a symbol of labor and oppression into a statement of beauty, strength, and cultural pride.

Sly Stone has passed away at 82. The frontman of Sly and the Family Stone, Sly was a pioneer who changed American music. One of the first to lead a racially and gender-integrated band, his sound blended funk, soul, rock, and psychedelia in a way that still moves through generations.

Hits like “Everyday People,” “Family Affair,” and “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” became anthems of love, protest, and unity. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, and released his memoir in 2023. Just this year, his legacy was celebrated again through a live album and the documentary Sly Lives! directed by Questlove. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
