Engaging With Black Relationships to Land and Water
"All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was... Like water, I remember where I was before I was straightened out.” - Toni Morrison
Black Like Water addresses Black fluidity of identity, relationships to land and water, and ways of knowing as they flow through cultural and historical experience.
Black Like Water acknowledges that we are in the lands and waters of the Kumeyaay people.
We offer respect to Kānaka Maoli and the voyaging peoples of the Pacific for their long tradition of surf and ocean technologies.
We hope to better learn our responsibilities in
relationship to Indigenous land, water, and people.
