Have you picked up a copy of our latest Freedom Tower edition? We are honored to present the work of Amanda Bradley, the artist behind our most recent Freedom Tower print.
We invited Amanda to create this special print as a way to consider our oral history archive. We ask nearly all of our oral history participants: how do you define home?
Amanda Bradley is a Belizean American artist, curator and arts professional based between Miami and Belize. She received a BFA in Photography from New World School of the Arts. Her work explores place and landscape as a means to connect and understand identity, belonging, histories, and relationships. Her work has been included in exhibitions internationally. She is the founder of Between Currents, an open source space to support, archive and inspire Caribbean cultural production. Bradley was a DVCAI Artist-in-residence in Suriname in 2023, WOPHA Artist-in-residence at Faena in 2020 and participated in the Home + Away residency at Atlantic Center for the Arts with Oolite Arts in 2019.
