Timeline

1957

Her series Dreams from the Deep End, which she developed during a residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York, was included in a solo exhibit at Gallery 1957.

Dreams from the Deep End was the resulting painting series and installation, first shown at Gallery 1957 in Accra, Ghana.

The Harlem Honeys & Bears is an all black synchronized swim team for senior citizens that meets at the Hansborough Recreation Center in New York City.

1979

The team has been in existence since 1979, and as of 2018, had 24 active members with ages ranging from 58 to 95, who met and competed on a regular basis.

The painting series based on Fadugba's research with the group, is both personal and tied to identity politics of Black America.

Swimming is intertwined with race, and social justice in the US.

Research from the CDC shows that drowning among black children is 1.4 times higher than the rate of white children.

The rate climbs to a 5.5 times difference when the research considers swimming pool drowning deaths.

The disparity is a legacy of segregation in the US, where black communities were denied access to public swimming pools.

For the artist, swimming is tied to a childhood fear of the ocean, which she only overcame when she was 11, and was forced to take swimming lessons in school.

Dreams from the Deep End depicts the Harlem Honeys & Bears swimmers in and around the swimming pool.

In some of the paintings, the figures remain faceless, and the artist tends to use pastel colors, and her signature burnt technique.

In others, she shows the faces of the swimmers on which the paintings are based, sometimes using the burning method, sometimes without.

The pool water is usually monochromatic: dark blue, black, or gold, making the swimmers stand out starkly from the background.
