​May 25- June 5, 2018

I'm excited to be participating in the show Dialogue in Black at White during Piccolo Spoleto. Hank Herring and I shared the topic "cultural appropriation." The photos above are details from my submission. Here's the write up from the City Gallery website-
​
"Sixty artists—paired by the subject matter of their work—contemplate thirty themes that reflect the issues of our time. Inspired by words frequently seen in news headlines, these artists worked independently in a variety of media, responding to topics that range from disparity and community to climate change and homelessness. Each creative duo includes an artist of color and a white artist, their juxtaposed perspectives intending to facilitate conversation among diverse viewers.
“I believe A Dialogue in Black and White will get people talking and connecting, and I hope it will move us closer to mutual understanding,” says curator and local fiber artist Torreah “Cookie” Washington, who most recently curated the North Charleston Arts Festival’s 12th Annual African American Fiber Arts exhibition. To further inspire a meeting of minds, three ticketed-event dinners and a brunch—catered by Tim Morton of Mercantile & Mash—will take place in the gallery. Members of the public are invited to break bread together while engaging in discourse that connects, challenges and enlightens.
In conjunction with the 2018 Piccolo Spoleto Festival, the exhibition opens May 25 and remains on view daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. through June 9. Conversational dinners are scheduled for 6 p.m. on May 24, May 31 and June 7, while brunch is slated for June 10 at 1 p.m. Event tickets can be purchased online for $50 each through City Paper Tickets.
