Overview
"Much of the world has long exhibited a peculiar infatuation with Black people. From their hair type to their body type, the Western work remains captivated, mesmerized, and influenced by Black culture, so much so that it repeatedly is the subject of culture appropriation. Yet, Black people have faced and still face some of the worst racism, discrimination, and violence inflicted on them because of their Blackness. "Unlike Any Other" explores themes of culture appropriation, pride, loss, identity, and evolution. This project confronts twisted fascination with Black culture while also highlighting the uniqueness singular to Black culture. Ultimately, this project is a celebration of Blackness, Black womanhood, and Black resiliency." -- Abstract
