Speak to Me of Rivers: An Exploration of Race, Identity, and Lived Experience in African American Culture; February 12 - March 3, 2019:
“As a Black Image Maker, it seems to me that my work cannot be about the sterility of the red, white and blue life-style but rather about exploring alternatives. I’m dealing with the cool and casual rhythms in us . . . and cool like the posture we strike when we are letting a sister know our point of view on a matter of primary importance. Sometimes I deal with the hot screams of the sweet thunder and the fire sirens which cause us to explode . . . but always with rhythm. Like we be doin’.”
— Nelson Stevens
