At the heart of "How Do You Want to See Yourself" lies a profound meditation on the intricacies that define the Black journey worldwide. Through a diverse array of artistic mediums, including painting, collage and photography, the featured lineup of Adegboyega Adesina, Kwesi Botchway, Cydne Jasmin Coleby, M. Florine D茅mosth猫ne, Jerrell Gibbs, Jammie Holmes, YoYo Lander, Stephen Langa, Joiri Minaya, and Lauren Pearce offers poignant reflections on self-perception in a society often inclined to negate Black humanity and visibility. Drawing upon Du Bois' "double consciousness" concept, the artists courageously confront the narratives of marginalization, contending with the complexity of opacity to embrace the richness and depth of the Black experience. Their works challenge preconceived notions, affirming the autonomy and complexity of Black identity.
