Show on Artists of African Descent Loses Funding Amid Trump DEI Crackdown The exhibition at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, DC, would have featured works by Afro-Latino, Caribbean, and African American artists.

This is far from the most violent or cruel of Trump-Elon absurdities but it does show the pettiness, lack of foresight, sweeping multi-generational ramifications, and broad ravenous reach of their ongoing power grabs. I detest everything they stand for.

I can't imagine the point of being an artist without its political, ethical, + philosophical imperatives. Nor its freedom, joy, + irreverence. The timing of this conference of artists, academics, + activists at a deeply dystopian moment is perfect. I’m honored to represent for visual art.

I am honored to be in this review of Sculpture NOW at McLean Project for the Arts. Thank you East City Arts and Katherine Markoski!
