Have you heard of “adultification bias?” The term refers to the reality that, in the United States, Black youth are often treated as adults, enduring heightened surveillance, punishment, and violence. For Black girls, living at the intersection of race and gender oppression makes them particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse.

In “Consecration to Mary,” shown here, Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter (@isisthasaviour) intervenes in an egregious act of adultification, inserting herself as a protective presence into a historical artifact. Shielding a young Black girl from predatory gazes, Baxter indicts both the photographer Thomas Eakins and the legacies of photography, which have been historically weaponized in the oppression of Black people. Presenting a selection of opened and closed daguerreotype cases, Baxter leaves visible three photographs. In two, the artist shifts the critical narrative to the lived experience of the subject in Eakins’ 1882 images. The third photograph—a school-age portrait of the artist herself—links Baxter’s own experiences with these histories of societal abuse. As part of the exhibition Ain’t I a Woman, this photo series complicates our understanding of the prison system by showing that the root causes of incarceration are inextricably tied to the systematic oppression in our public and personal histories.    

Experience this multipart photographic work as well as Baxter’s rap documentary Ain’t I a Woman, up through August 13.

Footnote to Fact (1933)

[letterboxd | imdb]

Director: Lewis Jacobs

“This is one part of a proposed four-part film intended to document the Great Depression that was to be called As I Walk. The other parts were never completed; consequently, Footnote to Fact must stand alone. The film was to be post-synchronized, using sound in a stream-of-consciousness technique.” — Lewis Jacobs, 1947
