This Is America at Nearby Gallery, Newton, MA February 4th - March 5th, 2023
This Is America, curated by Jamaal Eversley, is about showing the good, bad, beautiful and ugly of America. In a nutshell the contradiction of America using these juxtapositions. Also, the purpose of This Is America is to show that unity through diversity of voice and thought brings success to the whole. Unity comes by understanding differences and working through them for a win win. Collectively, we are going to show what winning looks like. This is the People’s Art Movement. This Is America!
