For our Artist Statements project, where leading Black contemporary artists reflect on the agonies and the ecstasies of Black American life, Yelaine Rodriguez (@yelaineartspace) writes: "Oshun Orisha of Fertility: Help us Birth Generations of Revolutionary Womxn is a multimedia project that incorporates fashion, handwoven panels, video, and photography. Inspired by Oshun, the orisha of fertility, I conceptualized a wearable art piece in response to the concept of birthing a revolution. The sitter for Oshun wears a bright yellow dress in her honor, with a handwoven cape that brings together indigo blue threads, mimicking the Atlantic water that brought our ancestors to the Americas, with brown threads woven in a fashion that resembles scars. We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors that paved the way and pass the baton forward. So that we may continue to carry the message onward, therefore it may never be lost. The pass of the 19th Amendment was a group effort by women of different experiences, cultures, and economically diverse backgrounds. I am inspired by the Black womxn that, during the early stages of the movement, persevered for a brighter future. They trusted that the next generation would continue the fight. My work aspires to bring awareness to the Black women in the movement through Afro spirituality, traditions, and Afro-futuristic imagery."
