Migrations in Black and White | 2.0
The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the exhibition, Migrations in Black and White | 2.0 to the public!
Migrations in Black and White | 2.0, featuring works by artists Cheryl R. Riley and Tracie D. Hall, explores the evolving theme of freedom since 2020, addressing urgent global issues through diverse artistic expressions. It confronts the complexities of migration crises, censorship through book bans, escalating food insecurity, the omnipresent threat of climate change, and seismic shifts in political landscapes worldwide, including the unprecedented attack on the United States Capitol and consequential U.S. elections.
“As curator, I believe these works not only capture the zeitgeist of our times but also contribute to a broader conversation about the complexities of freedom and social justice in today’s world. By showcasing these diverse voices and narratives, Migrations In Black And White | 2.0 invites viewers to contemplate, question, and engage with the critical issues shaping our collective future.”
– Makeba Kedem-DuBose
The art exhibition Migrations in Black and White | 2.0 is a bold showcase of black and white artworks. With a thematic focus on the essence of freedom, it reflects recent global events while projecting into the future. The exhibition stands out for its unique approach to color theory, allowing only black and white. This iteration rethinks the inaugural exhibition, which drew inspiration from the Great Migration and addressed the lack of visibility for South Side Chicago-based Black artists in the city’s northern stretch.
