Did You Know?

In the 1960s and 1970s, Mikki Ferrill was part of a network of Black photojournalists who worked on Chicago’s South Side.

Description

Ferrill photographed on assignment for Ebony, Downbeat, and other publications but also produced personal work: in-depth explorations of South Side communities. In this exchange between a waitress and patron at a busy diner, the woman’s gaze and the taut relationship between their bodies describes a complex, tension-filled encounter, one all the more potent because it has been captured through a woman’s eye.
