Black and Brown Visions (front)
I was asked to create a large “installation” painting for an event that Mica Valdez is curating at the Galeria de la Raza in San Francisco. I am currently working on a large banner which I feel will help move the conversation of “black and brown visions” to a broader and more effective one that centers around multiracial organizing and solidarity and a trajectory toward justice. I am using a quote from Assata Shakur as the center piece to the banner. I will be sure to post photos of the piece and event soon.
