The black diary is a Notebook that I decided to buy in Washington D.C on December 12th 2014, the day before the march for all Justice that took place in the capital after the fatal shooting and civil unrest originating in Ferguson. I asked to the people arrived in Washington to leave a personal witness of their presence to collect a sign of their physical and emotional presence in these specific topic moment of the American Histories.
Images of the manifestation are collected into Sculptures
