Using contemporary art practices, we formed bonds and communities with our sistahs at home and abroad. Through self-portraiture and oral narrative projects, Sistah Friends created a multimedia platform for honest and autonomous productions and reproductions of black women. The aim was to collaboratively reimagine, repoliticize, and recontextualize the black female form in order to salvage a complex history and to strengthen connectivity. Our mission was to instill confidence, promote self-empowerment, and develop tools for community and self-configuration through the creative process. Using the arts, we offered a safe forum to unpack themes of gender, sex, movement, home, body and identity.
