MadameFraankie on Identity, Community and Legacy

23 Feb 2024

Description

MadameFraankie’s work is centred around recontextualizing the day to day documentation of black life. She is drawn to highlighting the various ways Black people hold space and occupy their time. Within her work she attempts to capture micro-communal moments, gestures of love, and curiosity. MadameFraankie’s work draws comparison of these documented themes against the social and ethical norms within American Culture as a means to reshape black narration and photographic storytelling.She attributes the  reshaping of her understanding of community and artistry to the arts and music scene in Memphis, specifically working with Tone Memphis . Having recently exhibited with the space during Miami Art Week 2023,  MadameFraankie is excited for her work to take on a larger scale in both size and subject matter during her residency with Crosstown Arts. She explains how aspects of her identity like being both Black and Southern impacts how she thinks about and creates art. We learn about her upbringing in the military and how moving around the world produced a longing for aspects of identity and a sense of home that she now conjures in her photographs. Living in Memphis, MadameFraankie turns her camera towards the mundane aspects of Black life, championing the joy and tenderness in her community.  Connect with the Artalogue: Madison Beale, HostBe a guest on The Artalogue Podcast
