Artist Talk with Rebecca Racine Ramershoven
Artist Talk
Watch Us: On the structural misrepresentation of the Black Body and the possibilities of resistance and liberation in the arts.
Many facets and multilayered experiences, in all their simultaneity and complexity, are part of the Black Identity. I examine one aspect of this complexity in regard to representation and selfidentification in the works How much time do you want? (video, 21 min) and Resilience (photographs). In my talk I would like to present these two works, discuss their mutual effects and share the questions and challenges that accompany during the process of creation.
Rebecca Racine Ramershoven is currently graduating with a Master's degree in Photography Studies & Practice at Folkwang University of the Arts Essen. Her artistic interests focus on the artistic exploration and examination of socio-cultural themes and issues. Since 2014, her photographic work has been shown in national and international solo and group exhibitions. Most recently, Rebecca Racine Ramershoven participated in the 13th Conference of the Collegium for African American Research in Orlando/Florida (USA) and the Athens Photo Festival 2020 at the Benaki Museum in Athens/Greece. Her work How much time do you want and Resilience is currently on exhibit at the Folkwang Museum Essen/Germany.
