BLACK COLLAGISTS are stewards and storytellers. The pages of this curated portfolio featuring work by Yannick Lowery (Philadelphia), Jessica Whittingham (Nassau, Bahamas), Isaiah Winters (New York), Anthony R. Grant (Richmond, CA), and Khaleelah I. L. Harris (Washington, DC) offer windows into a variety of multifaceted practices, and a cross section of a vibrant and socially relevant field of artmaking. Collage is both a medium and a method, and because of its tactile nature, it engenders a sense of embodiment. Moreover, the physical and contemplative practice of selecting, cutting, rearranging, and then adhering one’s chosen material to a substrate elevates the practice to something akin to the spiritual. It might be thought of as a form of communion, like prayer, meditation, or singing, resulting in artworks full of reflective depth and communicative potential.
