Ayana Jackson at the Mariane Ibrahim Gallery in Paris: the struggle through images
We are honored to share that Philippe Dagen has featured Ayana V. Jackson in Le Monde, highlighting her powerful solo exhibition I Would Follow Her by Ground and Sea at Mariane Ibrahim in Paris. In his article, Dagen reflects on Jackson’s transformative approach to photography—an image practice that becomes a site of history, memory, and resistance. Through carefully constructed scenes and the presence of bold, visionary women, archival narratives are revisited, reimagined, and given renewed agency and emotional force. Jackson’s work creates a space where the past is not fixed, but actively questioned, re-staged, and brought into the present.
