Deborah Roberts: Twenty Years of Art/Work provides the definitive look at the artist’s practice over the past two decades, with newly commissioned texts and a thorough dive into Roberts’ archive. An extensive plate section is accompanied by a personal foreword from Dawoud Bey on “the tragic mischaracterization of Black children”; an insightful essay from Ekow Eshun on the social and political histories of innocence, race, and the fractured nature of the contemporary Black experience; a celebratory tribute from Carolyn Jean Martin on the musicality, humility, and generosity of Roberts’ practice; and a free-ranging conversation between Roberts and Sarah Elizabeth Lewis.
Deborah Roberts: Twenty Years of Art/Work has been longlisted for the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation 2024 Photography and Moving Image Book Awards.
