Mourning Weaves #2, Angela Hennessy

Angela Hennessy is a survivor of gun violence who lectures nationally on aesthetic and social practices that mediate the boundaries between the living and the dead. This work in the shape of a hair locket arranges braided hair almost like plants or a family portrait. In a time of race- and gender-based violence, Hennessy urges us to grieve our many personal and cultural losses, both past and present, so that future generations will not have to.
