The resulting unedited, experimental documentary offers an extraordinary portrait of both artists, singular in its situatedness and relationality. This book translates and poetically interprets McWillie's intimate primary document through an edited transcription, broken up into scenes, illustrated with video stills and annotated with contextual information. The introductory essay reflects on the enduring impact of the Black vernacular architect Mary Lou Furcron on both artists, and their converging efforts to trouble dominant hierarchies. Companion materials feature reproductions and transcribed texts from Buchanan's and McWillie's multi-disciplinary tributes to Furcron, further illuminating the role of the camera in their practices of remembrance, reverence and refusal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverly Buchanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940190371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940190372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soberscove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Beverly Buchanan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447132827903,"sku":"9781940190372","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_224a7e1e-3bee-46a9-b482-8134822f752e.jpg?v=1777229051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beverly-buchanan-athens-ga-8-beverly-buchanan-9781940190372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
