Note du spécialiste


A Memory of Water represents the ever-present call and response water has had in the collective history of African Americans. Water symbolizes the flow of memory from the Nile River, to the Mississippi river, to the Middle Passage across the Atlantic Ocean; it is the genetic rhythm of memory that water holds.
