Solange Knowles has done it again. The creative magnate has captured the essence of Black Girl Magic on the cover of Document Journal’s special winter issue, and we are not surprised. She powerfully poses in a stunning red New Bottega Veneta gown, giving the girls and guys Black excellence mixed with sultry, conviction, and self-love.
For Document’s fall/winter 2024–2025 issue, Knowles joined forces with artist Wangechi Mutu and MoMA curator of media and performance Thomas (T.) Jean Lax to discuss upcoming projects, imagination, surrender, and more. Around the time of this interview, Knowles was gearing up to put on the Saint Heron Eldorado Ballroom series in Los Angeles at Walt Disney Hall. According to Saintheron.com, this series was inspired by “the historic Black music hall in Solange’s native neighborhood, Houston’s Third Ward, where her love for performance began.”
“As I think about Eldorado Ballroom and how radical it was for a Black couple, Anna and Clarence Dupree, to start this in 1939 and create a space where performance could really thrive,” Knowles stated. “I’m feeling the ghosts of Mary Lou Williams and Julia Perry, two composers who have completely changed the trajectory of what I know is possible. I’m really, really excited to celebrate their spirit in this temple.”
Knowles is in a discovery space, allowing her to delve deeper into who she is. The star reveals that her latest artistic project, which is glass sculpting, has given her keen insight about herself. “Glass has taught me more about myself and taught me really tough lessons that I was trying to learn in so many other ways, which was the act of surrender,” she divulged. “I’ve lived such a chaotic life where I often felt like I had no control, control of my body, my story, my narrative—I developed an almost obsessive need for control, and it did not serve me in a lot of ways.”
