In addition the text includes a conversation among the artists and an essay by Dr. Kiara Hill, visiting Assistant Professor of Art History at Portland State University.
In preparation for this seminal group exhibition at Russo Lee Gallery the artists gathered on multiple occasions, seeking the company and conversation of Black artists living and working in Portland, Oregon. The catalog documents the time these artists spent together and contextualizes the time spent working as Black artists beyond their studios.
