Nona Faustine: White Shoes centers the arresting and monumental series by artist Nona Faustine (born Brooklyn, New York, 1977), which confronts the lasting—and often underrecognized—legacies of enslavement in New York City. The presentation marks the artist’s first solo museum exhibition as well as the first complete installation of Faustine’s photographic project. A collection of more than forty self-portraits taken in locations across New York City’s five boroughs and Long Island, White Shoes came out of the artist’s desire to confront the city’s once prominent but now largely obscured and unacknowledged involvement in the slave trade. She reveals that these innocuous urban landscapes, from Harlem to Wall Street to Prospect Park and beyond, were once significant sites of trauma and spaces of great resilience.
