TWILIGHT SANCTUARIES
An immersive multimedia portrait series that reclaims twilight as a space of rest, belonging, and refuge for Black people.
Purpose
“There comes a moment in life where you stop trying to convince people to see your value, and begin carrying yourself like someone who already knows it. That moment changes everything, not because the world becomes kinder, but because your spirit stops begging for permission to exist…” - Dr. Maya Angelou

The Ohio River in Cincinnati was the geographic boundary between the free North and the slave-holding South. For thousands of enslaved people crossing from Kentucky, it was a gateway to liberty, symbolized in spirituals as the River Jordan
