H.E.R. is a multi-women led audio visual art experience that highlights women of color whose accomplishments and achievements have been forgotten, yet paving the way for women and Artists like Myrina to succeed and create today. She curates teams of black women who are experts in their field to execute beautiful visual displays and re-enactments of these figHERs to honor them. To date, she has collaborated with over 60 black women and 2 black men, in supportive roles, to the women. Each year, creatHER & photograpHER, Myrina Renaissance, chooses a different era and theme to research women of that time. She then chooses original images to recreate as the main focus of storytelling. To further enhance the storytelling experience, she adds other Artistic elements such as theatre and live performances, original curated music from local music Artists to create soundtracks and a storytelling Emcee. Her Eminent Reign premieres all of these elements during her annual public-facing event in March.
About the Artist: Myrina “Renaissance” Otey-Myton
Myrina “Renaissance” Otey-Myton is the creatHER of Her Eminent Reign and owner of ©TJS Photgraphy, a creative portraiture and events photography company, founded in 2017 in St. Louis, Missouri. Myrina began her journey as a photographer when she was 10 years old learning about photgraphy from her father, Michael D. Otey Sr. She’s always had an interest for black history and stories, learning mostly through reading and watching documentaries. Myrina’s love for creative portraiture inspired a marriage between art & history which developed into the Her Eminent Reign Series, a photography focused audiovisual experience that collaborates with black women to honor black women from the past whose stories may have been forgotten.
