LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan 26, 2021) – A portrait series by Lexington artists Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova titled, “56 Lexington Women of Color: In Honor of VP Kamala Harris,” features a number of University of Kentucky faculty and staff members. The series serves as a tribute to Kamala Harris, the first woman of color to be elected to the office of vice president.
“On the day Senator Kamala Harris made history as the first woman and the first woman of color to become Vice President-Elect, Kurt and I started work on a series of 46 photographs to celebrate Harris and to honor Lexington women of color who lead,” wrote Todorova on the project website. “We began by recognizing we had already photographed many women of color who are leaders in our community for the project “Lexington in the Time of COVID-19”. So we wrote to each of them to share about what we were doing and to ask if we could include the portraits we had taken of them.”
