Detroit artist Sabrina Nelson says that during a trip to Paris in 2016, she met the spirit of James Baldwin.⁠ ⁠ Since then, she has become deeply acquainted with the iconic writer and activist, and has drawn him over 100 times. She often does it from memory, and at this point, she says she could easily do it with her eyes closed.⁠ ⁠ Currently, dozens of unique pieces — sketchbook drawings, detailed works on canvas, projected videos, collaborations with poets, and augmented reality experiences — are on display at Detroit’s Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #sabrinanelson #jamesbaldwin #detroitart #detroitartists #metrotimes
