Men of Change closed out its tour in December at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, after ten cities and five years.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported the exhibition!
This national touring exhibition tells a narrative of America through the profiles of 25 African-American men who are icons in the country’s historical and cultural landscape, including: Muhammad Ali, James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Kendrick Lamar. I contributed a commissioned portrait of Romare Bearden (1911-1988): a visual artist, activist, and author known for his oil paintings and collages focused on black community, identity, and narrative.
