Artist’s Portrait by Chi Nwosu

Mixed Emotions captures the beauty of bi-racial bodies, minds, and experiences through a lens uninhibited by social, political, or racial binaries. Throughout time, and to this day, our identities wane -as children, we are expected to pick black or white, wear Fubu or Abercrombie, say “nigga” or “ni****”, but never in-between. As children, the checkboxes on standardized tests didn’t include “multi-racial” like they do now. We were papis, mutts, too black or not black enough, ambiguous, fetishized, but always beautiful. We are uncertain if we are welcome in black-only spaces, yet always conscious and uncomfortable with being the only black folks in a room full of white people. It took a long time to identify ourselves FOR ourselves. And we’re still getting there; but our beauty and freedom of identity still reign.
