99% NO.68 Kee-Kee 2013

Editor: Sedrick Huckaby's small drawing, "99% NO.68 Kee-Kee," depicts what seems to be a sleeping child. It's a simple yet intimate image. What stands out to you about this work? Curator: Consider how images of Black children are historically fraught. Huckaby's choice to depict a child at rest, vulnerable yet safe, is a powerful counter-narrative. Do you see how this challenges stereotypical representations often seen in the media? Editor: I do. It feels like an act of reclaiming agency through representation. A quiet, personal resistance. Curator: Exactly. And where do you think this artwork fits in today's social dialogues? Editor: I see it prompting conversations about representation and childhood innocence. This perspective reframes familiar visuals in art and media. Curator: Yes, art gives us space to challenge and reshape perceptions.
