In this collection, the 17 colors and captions that appeared on the facade of Storefront--the project began as a series of Instagram posts of different hues of black, paired with witty and incisive comments on the multiplicity of Black culture--are expounded upon in poems, essays, and prose. With this anthology, Williams deliberately departs from traditional art criticism by gathering an intimate ensemble of her peers, friends, and collaborators, including Roxane Gay, Corinne Bailey Rae, and J Wortham, to comment on her work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat Black Is This You Say?\u003c\/i\u003e is the first title in a new series titled Groundworks, produced in conjunction with Storefront for Art and Architecture. Storefront, founded in 1982, is known for its commitment to challenging and reframing the relationship between public and private space. In 1993, the gallery commissioned a project by the artist Vito Acconci and architect Steven Holl that replaced the exterior façade with a series of 12 movable panels that open the entire length of the gallery to the street, enabling endless possibilities of entry, navigation, and absorption into the gallery space.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmanda Williams is an American visual artist who trained as an architect.
