#BlackLivesMatter Inside Out Project visits Art Basel Miami

In early December we had the opportunity to share our project at Art Basel Miami! Along with a large panoramic image of our installation, we shared 12 of the 42 portraits, and created a video documenting the project. Check out the video and check out my son on the mic. 

Organized by Morgan State University’s Visual Arts Department under the guidance of Chris Metzger and Kelli Williams, the Black Lives Matter Inside Out project is a visual response to the #BlackLivesMatter Movement. Created in 2012 after the murder of Trayvon Martin, the movement “[broadens] the conversation around state violence to include all of the ways in which Black people are intentionally left powerless at the hands of the state.” Part of French artist JR’s global participatory art project Inside Out, our group action aims to shed light on the presence of invisible boundaries and limitations placed on Black people throughout different facets of their lives.
