Artist: Malik Norman | Location: Mineral Springs, NC
Mineral Springs, NC
Malik J. Norman (b.1997) is native to the unceded territory of the Waxhaw, Catawba, and Cheraw people presently recognized as the Black realm of Western Union Park in Mineral Springs, NC. His rural roots empower his spirit. Currently, he is a senior Bachelor of Fine Art candidate in Photography at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
As a visual artist subjugated to light and image making, Malik renders radiance to explore his southern identity, rural realms, while paying homage to the legacy of Black Gold. The heart of his work exists within the intersection of public scholarship, project management, and creativity to solve problems with local charcoal hued communities. The camera is his “choice of weapons” for reimagining self and for Negro liberation.
