Brewster transfers images onto a variety of supports (paper, wood, video) as \u201ca metaphor for movement \u2013 that, among others, of her family\u2019s migration,\u201d Nimis writes. Long exposure times, models in motion, and random effects are among the means Brewster uses to defy the weighty heritage of photographic practices and crack open the notion of a monolithic Black community. Finally, in Nimis\u2019s view, the most effective response to the stigmatization of appearance may be found in movement."}
