Akeema-Zane and I continue our collaboration with a video and sound piece, commissioned by SCAD MOA’s Evans Center inspired by Aaron Douglas & James Weldon Johnson’s collaboration on “God’s Trombones”
Presented in the SCAD Museum of Art’s Evans Center for African American Studies, Aaron Douglas: Sermons explores the artist’s profound influence on creative practice today. The exhibition places key artworks by Douglas (American, 1899–1979) in conversation with work by contemporary artists, forming a constellation of connections, resonances, and direct references to Douglas’ work that demonstrates how the artist’s influence and the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance remain very much alive. The exhibition includes work by Adebukola Bodunrin and Ezra Claytan Daniels, Afua Richardson, Akeema-Zane and Rena Anakwe, Allison Janae Hamilton, Diedrick Brackens, Khari Johnson Ricks, and Kara Walker.
