About this work
During 2020, when Tyler Mitchell was unable to visit home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he created several bodies of work that drew on his nostalgia for home and the ideal of a Black utopia. His photographs explore personal memories and reimagine the experiences of being Black in public spaces in the southern states of America. He has described his work as actively avoiding the stereotypes imposed on the Black body and seeking to ‘reclaim small moments of everyday joy, which is so important because generations before us weren’t necessarily able to’.
