More About the Exhibit:
You’re From Where I’m From is a long-term photo documentary project that highlights the cultural legacy of six historically Black neighborhoods in White Plains. Nwana’s images are known for their “quiet urgency,” “safe intimacy,” and a “deep love and respect” for the people and places she documents.
In her own words: “I want my photos to tell stories that make us immovable and permanent. I want my photos to give us authority over how our names are spoken when we are no longer around to protect them. And I want my photos to safeguard our legacies so that future generations can look back and say with confidence: we were here.”
