Still is a series of photographs from contemporary rap music videos. These artworks invite a second look at the hip hop video vixen, displaying an interest in moments unintended by music video narratives. Some stills reveal agency rather than victimization, while others provide reminders of the narrow representations of women in hip hop.

The 2008 special issue of Meridians: Feminism, Race, Transnationalism entitled, Representin’: Women, Hip Hop and Popular Music, features artwork and writing by Ayanah Moor about the Still project.
