Karice Mitchell’s practice uses vintage Black erotic publications and digital manipulations toengage with issues relating to the Black female body and sexuality. Through her process ofcropping photos and employing multiple material explorations, she looks to reclaim pre-existing images in pursuit of redefining and re-imagining Black womanhood and sexualitydetached from the white gaze. Altering the scale of these images with care, centering skin, sensuality and intimacy, Mitchell’s work seeks to offer new perspectives that insist on seeingBlack womanhood full of potential beyond its historical construction.
