Evolution Of The Revolution with Crushow Herring
The bright, large scale photographs featured in Evolution of the Revolution do more than pay tribute to the men and women who triumphed over slavery and struggle to gain equal rights: they also provide a poignant commentary on how the revolution reverberates through contemporary culture and events. To create these layers of meaning, the artists constructed elaborate staged sets that feature models posing with a variety of props designed to provide a sharp historical insight.
In addition to the photographs, the exhibition displays several of the props used in the photos and a life size bus of retro style that celebrates the bravery of Rosa Parks and features the journey of other courageous African American civil rights leaders as the original riders for justice and freedom.
