“Water Rights” is a moving installation that examines the African Diaspora’s relationship to water, from the Middle Passage, through segregation, to the present, as black bodies are policed at beaches and swimming pools, and safe drinking water is still not democratized. The exhibition is a segment of the project BlackFlorida, the ongoing photographic archive of black rural and urban spaces of Florida.
