Artist Nona Faustine discusses her new book White Shoes in a conversation with book contributors Jessica Lanay, Pamela Sneed, and Seph Rodney. White Shoes is a collection of self-portraits taken in locations around New York that were the sites of slave auctions, burial grounds, slave-owning farms, and the coastal locations where slave ships docked. Faustine confronts the city’s once significant—and now largely obscured and unacknowledged—involvement in the slave trade, in solidarity with the people whose names and memories have been lost but are embedded in the land. The conversation will be followed by a book signing.
