“Derrick Adams’ representations of black bodies swimming and floating work to insert a kind of humanity within a long trajectory of every day subject matter in the omission of black figures within it.”
“ among other things, drag queens are living testimony to the way women used to want to be, the way some people still want them to be, and the way some women still actually want to be. Drugs are ambulatory archives of ideal movie star womanhood. They perform a documentary service, usually consecrating their lives to keep the glittering alternative alive and available for (not-too-close) inspection.”
