BURN: Origins & Resistance by
Antoinette Ellis-Williams
January 31 – March 3
Artist Talk:
Feb. 9 | 11:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m.

The BURN Project is a multi-disciplinary project which rethinks and explores the many ways black women experience “Burn” (e.g. unemployment, appropriation, dismissal, isolation, gentrification, cooptation, physical and sexual abuse, exploitation, etc.) and simultaneously their unique agency to set things on “Fiya” (aka fire) and heal.
During her sabbatical from NJCU in Fall 2020, she began ethnographic research by interviewing 14 women, and created new visual art and literary works to develop multimedia installations. Utilizing gender theories of intersectionality, black feminism, and healing paradigms, The BURN Project unpacks and explores some of the historical, sociopolitical, economic and cultural contexts in which black women suffer(ed) “Burn” locally, nationally, and globally.
