In these two photographs, Winogrand depicts Black mothers guiding their children through the world. A young girl is shyly led out of a nice restaurant; a little boy eagerly tells his mother about his day. Both images capture the easy affection between the women and their children, who are physically supported, not left to navigate the world alone.
From the 2024 exhibition And I'm Feeling Good: Relaxation and Resistance, curated by Alisa Swindell, Associate Curator of Photography
