    About Where Salt Meets Black Water

    At the Brooklyn Museum, Keisha Scarville’s *Where Salt Meets Black Water* brings together photography, installation, and performance, treating the body and the archive as working materials rather than fixed evidence. The work draws on Caribbean diasporic memory and the daily labor of looking, staging images that hover between record and invention. In New York City’s ongoing conversation about migration, lineage, and who gets preserved in institutions, the exhibition reads as a quiet intervention. Its strength is how it shows memory being made, not simply retrieved.
