I’m honored that photographer Mateo Ruiz Gonzalez found inspiration in Black Wide-Awake during his month-long artist’s residency with Eyes on Main Street. He recently talked about and shared photographs from his experience in Wilson here.
An interview with Mateo Ruiz Gonzalez.
Thank you, Mateo , for answering the call to walk the streets of Wilson, NC that my forefathers and I ,as a child, once walked, and toiled , and prayed…along with others unto this very day. You graced those grounds with your presence; the ancestors sent you and Cas met you. May the spirits of the ancestors continue to guide you thru out your journey. The wind has your back.
