They Tagged the Land with Trophies and Institutions from their Rapes and Conquests, Tweed Courthouse, NYC

Nona Faustine was an American artist whose practice centered on photography and performance as methods of historical excavation and Black visibility. Working primarily in large-scale color photography, she created visceral images that confronted slavery, dispossession, and the geography of trauma across New York City and beyond. Her work situated her body and voice as both archive and witness, addressing the erasure of Black women from institutional and public memory. Faustine's practice was rooted in the material and spatial evidence of historical violence, transforming archival investigation into urgent contemporary statement.
