Signed: Signed by Author(s)
Hardcover; 30 x 29cm, 72 pages. Signed edition (the signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover). Still sealed, as new. White Shoes is a collection of self-portraits taken in locations around New York that were central to the city s once pivotal and now largely obscured and unacknowledged involvement in the slave trade. Nona Faustine (1977-2025) depicts herself at the sites of slave auctions, burial grounds, slave-owning farms, and the coastal locations where slave ships docked, posing nude apart from a pair of white high-heeled shoes. Documenting herself in places where history becomes tangible, Faustine acts as a conduit or receptor, in solidarity with people whose names and memories have been lost but are embedded in the land. Includes newly commissioned texts by Pamela Sneed, Jessica Lanay, and Seph Rodney, together with an interview of the artist by Jessica Lanay.
