To welcome Stéphane Alexis to the FFOTO roster, we invited fellow FFOTO artist Janice Reid to lead a conversation with him via Zoom. Both of these artists make work that explores aspects of their Caribbean diaspora backgrounds, producing photographs that suggest the resiliency and histories - and futures - of the Black experience. The resulting conversation is a fascinating exchange of ideas about the approaches and inspirations that drive these talented emerging artists’ photo-based practices. Reid and Alexis offer insight into how their experiences and communities inform the themes they explore through their work, and where they see their practices heading in the future.
