D’Angelo Lovell Williams is a Black, HIV-positive artist expanding narratives of Black and queer intimacy through photography.
Black gay men, including Williams, appear throughout the work as sitters, lovers, caregivers, or shadows; the many forms in which Black queer men have existed within each other's lives. Williams’s images are informed by lived experience, as well as an exploration of how concepts of race, class, sexuality, gender, love, and intimacy affect our psyches. Depicting the Black body dynamically and in community, often merging or overlapping in the frame, Williams’s images picture the nuances of kinship, spirituality, and vulnerability.
