“Plantation Wedding” is a searing and celebratory visual correction. In the background, a slave plantation burns—its windows engulfed in flames, its legacy crumbling. But in the foreground, Black families dance barefoot in the grass, elders laugh, children play, and lovers embrace. This print flips the grotesque aestheticization of plantation weddings on its head and instead offers a reimagined future: one where our people reclaim joy on stolen land.
There’s no white dress, no cake, no plantation romance. Just unfiltered, sovereign Black joy—dressed in everyday beauty and sacred rage. A woman raises her fist in a moment that reads as both hallelujah and protest. The children are carefree, the elders are whole, and nobody asks permission to be alive or free. The fire is not destruction—it’s consecration.
This print belongs in the homes of abolitionists, organizers, educators, and those committed to truth-telling. It’s an altar to our ancestors who never got their own celebration, and a reminder that the most radical thing we can do is live—and love—out loud, in defiance of the systems that tried to erase us.
