Art of Black Miami Podcast with Lauryn M. Lawrence

Lauryn M. Lawrence, Jamaican and Dominican-American, is an artist and curator whose work examines her experiences as an Afro-Latina intersectional feminist. Lawrence was born in South Florida, where she currently resides. Her multimedia works are both analytical and introspective. Lawrence emphasizes capturing representations of intersectional communities in society and paying attention to the relationship between people and their spaces. Her recent 2022 photographic series, Womxnhood, sheds light on the very differences that build the foundation for the agency and subjectivity of the artists portrayed. As part of this series, Lawrence explores intersectionality, identity, sacred spaces, and vulnerability.
