Brandon Holland
Brandon Holland is a New Orleans-born artist working and living in the Gulf South. With the resources provided by the Film Photo Award, Brandon intends to continue working on ‘All of Me Remembers’ a project which centers on love, preservation, healing, and interconnectedness. Using primarily a 4x5 view camera, he explores his identity and place within the greater African diaspora through nature, history, and family. The work is informed by the Akan philosophy of Sankofa- a process of returning to one's roots and reconnecting with the past in order to shape the future. He presents a mixture of intimate portraiture, quiet landscapes, and rich tradition in order to map out his place within the rich tapestry of black culture.
