Flight Plans is based on Njie’s 2023 exhibition of the same name. Part collage series and part installation, the project is a meditation on the legend of Black folks flying. The book weaves together Njie’s historical research, family storytelling, documentary photography, collage, original prose, and process documentation to meditate on flight as freedom. Shaped by the past and rooted in the present, the publication presents a future-facing take on a piece of enduring lore.
