In this special collaboration with Story Time by Adam Davis, three of the four Black Magic Rodeo Residency women artists — including our host, Qurissy — come together to reflect on their time in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This episode centers the voices of Black women as they share their unique experiences and perspectives on the Black rodeo and its cultural legacy.
Artists Da'Shaunae Marisa and Amber Aisha open up about their personal connections to the rodeo, the challenges they encountered, and the deep bonds formed through collaboration. The Black Magic Rodeo Residency brought together six photographers in total to explore, document, and develop their craft through the lens of Black rodeo history. The conversation highlights the importance of confidence, audacity, and community in creative work — and the powerful imprint this residency will leave on future generations.
Special shoutout to the other residents: Brian Edwards Jr., Samone Kidane, & Tosin Popoola <3
