MAGICIENNE / defiance

Defiance is an exploration of the cost of defiance for black women. In the patriarchal modus vivendi, those who stray from the idea of the stoic, obedient, resilient paradigm of womanhood are cast away from society, often violently. This violence takes the form of physical or emotional abuse and gradually erasure. Defiance is an ode to black witches and bitches who dare to disobey.
