Jazlyne Sabree: The Spectrum of Resilience, Opening Reception
Sabree elevates her subjects, members of the African diaspora, as spiritual messengers highlighting the whispers of hidden histories.The Spectrum of Resilience reveals moments of strength, tenacity, vigor, and adaptation expressed through the spirits of members across the African Diaspora. This work is developed alongside research into my own African ancestry and genealogy, and the ancestral histories of those that I connect with on the way and my own research from literature such as: Oxford’s “Archaelogy of the African Diaspora”, the African Union’s “The Diaspora Division”, and “Cultural Resilience and Filiel Responsibility Among the African Diaspora: To Be or To Belong” among other
