Self-taught in the arts, Barnes’ calls on beginnings in film and photography to inform a multi-dimensional body of work that is cinematic.
By melding documentation with artistic expression, they invite viewers to confront their own narratives, encouraging a collective awakening, communal (melanated) homecoming and admittance to our interconnected archives.
