“I like titles to have double meanings. If I’m lucky, I can find one with a triple meaning. “Our Labour” is first a reference to my family and the work that my family has done in the auto plants in Detroit. It’s a reclamation of a larger history of Black labor in America. But it’s also a larger historical context of the Black “our,” which has been excluded from having visual representation [in this nation’s history].”
