At a Transitional Point in Urban Bush Women’s History, Its Leaders Are Both Preserving a Legacy and Pursuing New Experiments

by Sydnie Mosley | Aug 27, 2024

Eight women pose together in what seems to be an abandoned warehouse, each draped with silver or gold netting that variously covers their faces, necks, torsos, and/or legs. Closest to the camera, one woman leans back with her eyes closed, head carefully cradled in the hands of the woman sitting behind her. Another woman, features invisible beneath the mesh, reclines on a green block of fabric. The others pose further back, in pairs and solo, attitudes differing but all gazing intensely beyond the camera.
