What She Saw, interweaves slides, photographs, drawings, journal entries, and travel logs inherited from the women in White’s family, that coalesce into a multi-generational familial collaboration across time. Throughout the book complexities of queerness, womanhood, and motherhood are made visible through small acts of resistance in the form of travel and photography. Part historical, part speculative, What She Saw reclaims the archive as a site of feminist inquiry, where familial ephemera is not merely received but actively re-imagined solidifying transient histories into newly re-imagined ones.
Generous support for this project came from the Sarah Isom Fellows Program at the Sara Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies, University of Mississippi, & Penland School of Crafts Artist’s Residency Program, Penland, NC.
