MadameFraankie

MadameFraankie’s work is centered around recontextualizing the day-to-day documentation of Black life. She is drawn to highlighting the various ways Black people hold space and occupy their time. Within her work she attempts to capture micro-communal moments, gestures of love, and curiosity. MadameFraankie’s work draws comparison of these documented themes against the social and ethical norms within American culture as a means to reshape Black narration and photographic storytelling.
