New York-based artist Derrick Adams and Seattle-based artist Barbara Earl Thomas first connected when their work was exhibited together at a 2017 group show at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Now, they've come together for a "multi-year, intergenerational, cross-country" collaborative installation that "developed from their shared dialogue about representation, Black identity, and practices of cultural resistance." Adams' collages and sculptures explore the relationship between Black culture and commerce, with a focus on fashion and self-image. Thomas' multimedia work brings to life a visual representation of myths and archetypal stories.
