In Landscape (Western/Hemisphere), Lorraine O’Grady explores the interconnected cultural legacies that link with her own life experience as a Black, biracial woman, raised in Boston by first-generation Jamaican parents. Taking the intimacy of her hair as a subject and turning it into a metaphorical landscape, O’Grady makes Blackness omnipresent within the history of American landscape painting. Here, what at first appears to be dense foliage rustling and tossing in the wind—replete with an ambient soundtrack of chirping birds and bugs, a distant train, and shifting breezes—is eventually recognized as the artist’s natural hair. O’Grady activates her own body as a landscape, and a site of multiple intersecting historical legacies that shed light on the ways Blackness permeates the history of Western modernism.⁠
