untitled(Valor)
Omar Lopez-Chahoud invited me to participate in the exhibition, Red Badge of Courage Revisited in Newark, New Jersey. The show opens tonight at the Newark Arts Council.
I made this drawing, that features the text “please excuse this act of violence. it’s valor.” I have been thinking about the role of violence as part of the narratives of change, growth and progress.
Information for the show is below.

This exhibition’s title comes from a short story with the same name by Edward P. Jones, author of The Known World. In the story, the relationship between a father and daughter, living in 1960’s Washington D.C., changes as a nearby railroad company buys up property and the neighborhood around them disappears. The story’s themes and images appear in the work: family, loss, displacement, community vigilance, changing landscapes. The show includes photography, drawing, and painting by Gary L. Moore, Kathleen Hudspeth, Ryan Holloway, Adler Guerrier, David Rohn, Vanessa Tomchik, Karla Turcios, Bayunga Kialeuka, and others. Curated by Library Curator Denise Delgado.
