Recipient of the Visual Task Force Award from the National Association of Black Journalists and featured in the Smithsonian's Ralph Rinzler Collection and Archives, Akea Brionne is a photographer, writer, curator, and researcher. Her personal work investigates the implications of historical racial and social structures in relation to the development of contemporary black life and identity within America. With a particular focus on the ways in which history influences the contemporary cultural milieu of the American black middle class, she explores current political and social themes, as they relate to historical forms of oppression, discrimination, and segregation in American history.
