Cameron Rowland

(b. 1988)

At once an artist, a historian, a legal scholar, and an investigative journalist, Cameron Rowland is interested in the materials of history. Their practice consists of the radical recontextualization of NYPD radios, legal documents outlining the terms of a restrictive covenant, and scythes used by Black sharecroppers as weapons of resistance—objects that call attention to the logic and legacy of slavery, mass incarceration, real estate, and economic inequality in the U.S.
