This is a detail from a 2013 photo in Nona Faustine’s “White Shoes” series. The photo is captioned From Her Body Sprang Their Greatest Wealth. This blog post offers commentary and the explanation that Faustine “posed nude at former New York City slave trading sites” in order to “call attention to that history and its enduring legacy.”
