Very excited to receive my copy of For Freedoms: Where Do We Go From Here? Published by Phaidon. Thank you Hank Willis Thomas, 21c Museums and Alice Gray Stites for asking me to create two billboards for this project. It’s an especially wonderful moment to share with my former student, Dutana D whose billboard was installed in downtown Cincinnati! #aacrepresentin @forfreedoms @phaidonpress @21ccincinnati @alicegraystites @artacademyofcincinnati @artacademyofcincinnatialumni @dutanaa

Thank you Sso-Rha! Posted @withregram • @kangssorha Excited to share that my exhibition “Memory Fields” will open @westonartgallery as a featured project for @fotofocuscincinnati 2024 Biennial: Backstories. Memory Fields explores the nuances of memory and its uncanny ability to transport culture, traditions, rituals, and feelings through space and time. Oscillating between place and placelessness, seven artists of diverse cultural backgrounds present a series of actions, systems, and moments that are influenced by regional, national, and transnational experiences. Support for this 2024 FotoFocus Biennial Featured Project was provided by FotoFocus #FotoFocus2024 #backstories #FotoFocus
