Patrick Earl Hammie’s I AM…THE NIGHT examines the television program Soul Train (1971-2006), and widely distributed 19th- and early 20th-century lynching photographs, to explore what has driven most of his work to date: Which narratives has he inherited? Which stories does he tell to create meaning for himself and inform meaning around others? Black people have survived the past—how do they thrive in the future? This work acknowledges centuries of racialized angst and terrorism, and visualizes how far both powerful and marginalized people go to alleviate fear and survive.
