Nia Barnes
she/her
“I would say my work is very unorthodox and soft. I purposely made it ‘boring’ so people can really hear what my subjects were saying. I was really focused on queer and trans-black people in Detroit and what that looks like through their lenses. All 4 of my subjects are from the program AfroFuture Youth.”
