Klare Scarborough and Berrisford Boothe, (2022), "Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020-2021", Shifting Time, Book, Self-Published, New Jersey, https://www.amazon.com/Shifting-Time-African-American-2020-2021/dp/B0BJY351K4, Notes: Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020-2021 explores how contemporary Black artists responded to the emotional and cultural challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice movements, and political upheaval during this critical period of turmoil and uncertainty. Co-edited by Klare Scarborough and Berrisford Boothe, the book offers a glimpse into the lives of over 70 African American artists, featuring personal essays, creative poetry, artistic statements, memorial tributes, and images of artworks. 240 pages, 214 illustrations. If we look to the artists, in this volume and elsewhere, we will hear the call and response of the world screaming and the artists answering the challenges of the moment. So, by taking on these projects, artists have been able to offer a tangible reaction to questions that no one has yet fully formulated.
