Felicita “Felli” Maynard is an Afro-Latinx visual artist born and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Felli discusses their work as a photographer and archivist through which they explore the forgotten histories and stories within the African diaspora and the fluidity and diversity of blackness. They talk about their love for the process of wet plate photography and their approach to reclaiming the 19th-century practice that exploited the images of Black slaves. Felli shares the vision behind their photo project, Ole Dandy, which imagines two Black trans male impersonators living in 1900s Coney Island as the queer ancestors who went unrecorded in history books. The child of Panamanian and Columbian immigrants, Felli also discusses growing up as a witness to the gentrification of their neighborhood, their spirituality in connection to familial ritual, and what it’s like to shoot and develop their photography from their childhood home. Felli urges listeners to consider the lack of access to and historical gaps within archival institutions and the importance of printing out your family photos.
