Winston-Salem, NC
Johannes Barfield is a multimedia artist from Winston-Salem, NC who works in photography, video, sculpture, and sound installations. His work is about the black American experience and how institutions and systems of power and influence are connected to the amplification and nullification of blackness.
In his work, he examines: urban and rural environments as a space for creative exchange, his childhood memories, acts of violence provoked by poverty, internet age lynchings by police who receive immunity, the music played at family cookouts, the public school system in the south, and how systems of control are implemented through the open road and car culture.
