From Galveston Arts Center:
“Jamie Robertson’s exhibition, A Hundred More, is a meditation on the concept and reality of the Black Landscape in the rural South. Robertson describes the landscape as witness to the fullness of Black life; the emergence of new generations and the retiring of older generations into the soil to become one with the landscape. The ancestors, now a spectral presence on the Homeground, witness the simultaneous growth and decay of their bloodlines. The Black landscape will survive us all and with that in mind, Robertson pauses to acknowledge what came before, what is now, and to dream of what is to come. For over one hundred years, Robertson’s family has called the small unincorporated communities in Leon County, TX Home. Through the use of archival documents, photography, sculpture, and video, she asks, “What will become of us in a hundred more years?””
