Reflecting on my Jamaican ethnicity, Black Foliage proposes an embodied knowledge that calls on black bodies to remember where we came from, and how to transform plant materials from those territories into new forms. Black Foliage asks black bodies to view and “see themselves in nature” and to explore those materials that make us, shape us, and recognize us in return. This research is a celebration of blackness and creates spaces that are rooted in the black gaze. Hogarth states, “These objects do not aim to solve questions of the colonial project. They, instead, bear material witnesses to how a diasporic material can reimagine the world beyond accepted, official multicultural narratives”. Black Foliage recognizes who we are through the Indigenous plant materials and the roles they play in our respective culture(s).
