SUMMARY:IRENE ANTONIA DIANE REECE: DON'T CRY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE
DESCRIPTION:“Grief is evidence of love\, it is also a way of honoring our commitment to those who have died.” – bell hooks \nDon’t Cry For Me When I’m Gone is a photographic installation featuring Black Southern archives which elicit memories as well as feelings of grief and kinship in the artist and potentially the viewers themselves. Artist Irene Antonia Diane Reece’s embrace of these archives comes with feelings of heaviness and joy\, prompting love and grief interchangeably. \nWhile the work is grounded in photography\, the addition of Black and family archives adds depth to it – layering not only text\, but a sense of comfort and belonging. For Reece\, making this work is a vulnerable process. With every piece\, she reveals an array of emotions\, inviting the viewer to connect to a feeling or memory; whether grief\, self-love\, trauma\, or hope. This spiritual ritual of caring for and acknowledging archival documents is an act of preservation and healing. \nWith this new body of work\, Reece hopes to spark self-reflection and curiosity. By sharing her own story and heritage\, she encourages viewers to uncover\, understand\, and remember as a way to heal\, dream\, and live. Don’t Cry For Me When I’m Gone is a reminder to care deeply – for community and for oneself. \nAbout the Artist\nIrene Antonia Diane Reece creates image-based\, multimedia installations that engage viewers in conversations about racial identity\, African diaspora\, social injustice\, family histories\, re-memory\, mental and community health. While lens-based\, Reece’s work has become increasingly critical of the very tools she uses as she seeks to decentralize whiteness\, engage/deconstruct the violence of the camera\, protect Black archives\, and centralize/celebrate the complexities of Black identities.

SUMMARY:IRENE ANTONIA DIANE REECE: DON'T CRY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE
DESCRIPTION:“Grief is evidence of love\, it is also a way of honoring our commitment to those who have died.” – bell hooks \nDon’t Cry For Me When I’m Gone is a photographic installation featuring Black Southern archives which elicit memories as well as feelings of grief and kinship in the artist and potentially the viewers themselves. Artist Irene Antonia Diane Reece’s embrace of these archives comes with feelings of heaviness and joy\, prompting love and grief interchangeably. \nWhile the work is grounded in photography\, the addition of Black and family archives adds depth to it – layering not only text\, but a sense of comfort and belonging. For Reece\, making this work is a vulnerable process. With every piece\, she reveals an array of emotions\, inviting the viewer to connect to a feeling or memory; whether grief\, self-love\, trauma\, or hope. This spiritual ritual of caring for and acknowledging archival documents is an act of preservation and healing. \nWith this new body of work\, Reece hopes to spark self-reflection and curiosity. By sharing her own story and heritage\, she encourages viewers to uncover\, understand\, and remember as a way to heal\, dream\, and live. Don’t Cry For Me When I’m Gone is a reminder to care deeply – for community and for oneself. \nAbout the Artist\nIrene Antonia Diane Reece creates image-based\, multimedia installations that engage viewers in conversations about racial identity\, African diaspora\, social injustice\, family histories\, re-memory\, mental and community health. While lens-based\, Reece’s work has become increasingly critical of the very tools she uses as she seeks to decentralize whiteness\, engage/deconstruct the violence of the camera\, protect Black archives\, and centralize/celebrate the complexities of Black identities.

SUMMARY:IRENE ANTONIA DIANE REECE: DON'T CRY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE
DESCRIPTION:“Grief is evidence of love\, it is also a way of honoring our commitment to those who have died.” – bell hooks \nDon’t Cry For Me When I’m Gone is a photographic installation featuring Black Southern archives which elicit memories as well as feelings of grief and kinship in the artist and potentially the viewers themselves. Artist Irene Antonia Diane Reece’s embrace of these archives comes with feelings of heaviness and joy\, prompting love and grief interchangeably. \nWhile the work is grounded in photography\, the addition of Black and family archives adds depth to it – layering not only text\, but a sense of comfort and belonging. For Reece\, making this work is a vulnerable process. With every piece\, she reveals an array of emotions\, inviting the viewer to connect to a feeling or memory; whether grief\, self-love\, trauma\, or hope. This spiritual ritual of caring for and acknowledging archival documents is an act of preservation and healing. \nWith this new body of work\, Reece hopes to spark self-reflection and curiosity.
