Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle
(Arts)
In a series of works on paper, wood panel, and photo transparencies, Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle explores what she describes as the "historical present," which speaks to the residue of history and how it affects our contemporary world perspectives. Her focus is primarily on the Black female body and how perceptions of it have been distorted within the visual cultures of the past and present.
