Dreamer image gallery. Previously unpublished images of children by Inye Wokoma.
"...precious
little black girls
are being found in between
the crevices of things
peeled out of ditches like
flower petals
caught in tar..."
Speak
to me of oral histories
Told through blues and rhythm melodies
Speak to me of extended family
Of being raised by my Grandmother
Speak to me of cultural context
How we do
“Even
in the city the blackberries need water to
grow big and sweet.”
"...she
c’ain’t help but spill joy that sparkles
all over the sky."
"I
am Afro Buddha cornrowed
without the grin,
crossed legged on a stoop of tomorrow,
waiting for my dragon to ride..."
"...deep
in
this terrene dream,
forgetting
this time around
that i could
remember you,
i must have
dreamt of you still."
