Where the Waters Made Us

Where the Waters Made Us is a digital exhibition of charcoal drawings by Detroit artist M. Saffell Gardner that explores Blackness as a process of rupture, transformation, and remaking across the Black Atlantic. Through images of sails, water, spirals, and sacred symbols, the exhibition reimagines the Middle Passage not only as a site of profound violence, but also as a space where new Black worlds, cultures, and cosmologies emerged.
