  • Christopher Myers: Caliban's Hands<br />
Christopher Myers' monumental sculpture is symbolic of the indigenous cultures occupied and suppressed by European colonial societies, and speaks to the dynamics of privilege, oppression, and forced servitude. The title references a character from Shakespeare's Tempest. Many consider the play an allegory of European colonization, and throughout the centuries, Caliban's character has featured prominently in arguments that defend or resist colonialist tyranny. Interpreted as a white man's burden, colonization was a means of conquering new lands and imposing the colonizer's culture on the native people.<br />

  • Coby Kennedy<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box<br />
<br />
Kennedy’s sculpture The Box is a protest work. The steel and glass sculpture replicates the dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. The exterior features texts and graphs that explore the U.S. carceral system. The work is a critique of the gross abuses of civil liberties found in American incarceration systems. It aims to provide a creatively driven introduction to the myriad impacts of mass incarceration and to inspire participants to envision a transformed world without prisons. <br />
<br />
Viewed from the exterior and lit from below, the sculpture pays specific tribute to Kalief Browder, who was incarcerated for three years with neither trial nor proof.<br />
<br />
Artist Coby Kennedy felt compelled to bring this injustice to light, by creating an eight-by-ten-by-six-feet sculpture that replicates the exact dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. Framed by steel, the glass surfaces are etched with line renderings of the bed, barred window, and toilet that sparsely furnish the inhumane settings. Alongside these diagrams are texts that draw parallels between the United States’ carceral centers and Guantanamo Bay, and also critique the gross abuses of civil liberties when innocent men and women are abducted for untried crimes. <br />
<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box was conceived of and produced by multidisciplinary artist Coby Kennedy to address the ongoing injustices of the US carceral system. It debuted at Pioneer Works in summer 2021, where it was presented with a four-part town hall series organized by For Freedoms and Negative Space to accompany viewing with a forum of discussion around these injustices. Special thanks to Pioneer Works, For Freedoms and Negative Space for its debut.<br />

  • HANK WILLIS THOMAS<br />
ALL POWER TO ALL PEOPLE<br />
<br />
"Public monuments have a higher charge now. They can celebrate a specific individual, or a group of people, but they should also invite a broader conversation about how a memorial can connect to the rest of the world and represent its people."<br />
Hank Willis Thomas <br />
<br />
All Power to All People combines the Afro pick and the Black Power salute, two potent symbols of Black identity and social justice. While the title references a legendary Black Panther Party slogan, this activation welcomes anyone who seeks to participate in this watershed social and cultural moment. It is a call to action, and in Thomas' own words, "we the people are standing up to take the power back." <br />
<br />
All Power to All People stands 28 feet tall and weighs in at 24,000lbs. When Thomas conceived of the monumental Afro pick with a raised fist, he wanted to make an object that spoke specifically to African Americans. <br />
<br />
Around the 20th century, Afro combs started to take on a definite cultural and political meaning. The "black fist" was added to the bottom of many Afro combs and is a reference to the Black Power salute that was made popular  during  the 1960’s civil rights movement. In addition to using the pick as a styling tool, many Black men and women wore the picks in their Afros as a way to express their cultural pride. <br />
<br />
The Afro pick exists today as many things to different people: it is representative not only of an era, but a sound and a counter culture. It is a uniting motif, worn as adornment, a political emblem, and signature of collective identity.<br />
<br />
Art has always heralded revolution, bringing unrest and social issues into the mainstream of culture in a less disquieting way and in this, we believe that art and specifically Hank Willis Thomas' work has a role to play in how we—a country at a crossroad—moves forward as a nation. <br />
