Detroit Native Franchesca Lamarre (queencomplexdetroit.com) is a conceptual artist and curator practicing the replacement of power to the Afro-Black community. Not power in a supremacist position but power over autonomy and destination. Through queedome she’s reimagining autonomy for herself and her community. She is an Black-Futurist, hoping to evoke present day thought and action towards obtaining entry into a world unimagined by the Black eye. Her interdisciplinary practices currently include illustration, photography, film, fashion, and literature.
