Visit ICP the evening of Nov 30, as photographer Keisha Scarville and poet and visual artist Pamela Sneed discuss Scarville's debut monograph “lick of tongue, rub of finger, on soft wound” (MACK). The conversation will take place in-person and online, and be followed by a book signing.
This event is free to attend with the price of Late Night ICP admission.
About the Book:
Scarville has spent much of her life tracing routes of movement between the Caribbean and America in order to investigate her own lineage. Attempting to understand how notions of belonging and identity are formed and structured, her image-making practice visualises the latent narratives inscribed within the thresholds of memory across generations.
This first publication by Scarville, shortlisted for the 2023 Aperture PhotoBook Awards, unfolds as a sprawling, hypnotic visual essay, evocatively interweaving the artist’s striking black-and-white photography with archival imagery, passages from books, collages, personal texts, and film stills.
