NOCTURNAL VISIT.XXVII.XI.MMXVIII. by Orphné Achéron.

“In Dutch Protestant paintings of the 15th and 16th centuries, meat often referred to ‘the weak flesh.’ In my paintings, the beauty of the flesh is shown, and the ornate frames emphasize the non-Puritanical content. People call the frames ‘over the top’ or excessive. They’re often painted to match the meat. When viewing the paintings, some say they have a gag reflex while thinking at the same time they’re beautiful.” 

We have to be precise when speaking about this. The narrative matters.

Especially because this celebration is something stemming from the experience of Black Texans and their enslaved ancestors. I would hate to see that legacy and the voices of Black Texans removed from the conversation. It's important to note that even after being freed, these ancestors still had to fight to even celebrate Juneteeth the following year.

Many cities banned then from using parks for celebrations, but refusing to be stopped, freed people eventually crowdsourced amongst themselves to buy land JUST to celebrate
