dKol on grief

It’s just shy of a year since my mom died. In January 2023 she went to the ER due to random bruising all over her body. She jokingly said she didn’t get into a fight to deserve the appearance of such. Two weeks after she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Four months later she became too weak and we lost her.

I have found an array of support along my journey but I recognized today that I have another space to grieve. I suppose I always knew The dKol la femme Project could be an outlet but it wasn’t until today that it felt like the right time to actually lean into the community that was built to share these exact life experiences.

Guest Artist: Christopher Fisher on Loss

The internet found “us”. He introduces himself as- Christopher Fisher, a photographer, installation artist and curator. He earned his M.F.A. in Photo, Video and Related Media in 2005 from the School of Visual Arts.

He creates art out of loss. And each loss drives him into something deeper every time.

He comes to The dKol la femme Project to let us know he sees our mission and wants to find a way to participate in the artist in residency we have here. We will share more on that in the future but for now we wanted to spotlight Christopher.
