Thank You, Radcliffe Bailey
<p>Through his work, but more broadly through his artistic approach, Bailey sought to capture the African American lived experience. Bailey used his work to represent the complexity of an interwoven, multicultural identity. He specifically <a href="https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/radcliffe-bailey-atlanta-dies-54/85-df337178-e4a3-467c-b395-9572cde823dc" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">tapped into his parents’ influence</a> in his childhood and his youth in Atlanta, his relationship with music, specifically jazz, and the broader spiritual history of Kongo minkisi to do this.</p>
<p>Within this, he worked to document the realities of the African diaspora, considering the traumatic impact that slavery has had on kinship, community, and the idea of a homeland for the descendants of enslaved people. <a href="https://jackshainman.com/artists/radcliffe_bailey" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">By drawing inspiration from a variety of sources</a>, his very approach as an artist is laden with his own history, and he does not shy away from interacting with his family history within his body of work.</p>
