claimed for living, for love and trouble, 2020
Double Billboard
Commissioned by For Freedoms and Miami Design District
A work composed of text, design, and images, assembled to configure a place of everyday Miami textures, rendered to hold an apt imaginary in support of the ranges within Black social life. Here is a place claimed for the purpose of living, fashioned to engender love, fortified to protect its inhabitants, and to withstand the specters of trouble.
We live here.
We live informed by the poetics of immigrant culture, Caribbean tendencies, Black diasporic experience, and strengthened by the forcefulness of radical traditions that prepared us to imagine, and to claim the conditions we need to live with dignity.
-Adler Guerrier
