"I feel more than ever that it is essential for artists to make work that celebrates Black culture. As a Black man, I am aware of my vulnerability and susceptibility to trauma and oppression on a daily basis...there are images that are less important for us to see than images of joy." – Derrick Adams (Derrick Adams quoted in Style Variations, Salon 94, 2021)
