#InstitutionalShow | Jaylon Israel Hicks Jaylon Israel Hicks will be included in ‘Made in Texas’ at Art Galleries at Black Studies (AGBS) at The University of Texas, Austin. Curated by Phillip A. Townsend, the exhibition invites audiences to encounter the state as a complex cultural force whose political and social conditions quietly shape and sometimes limit the possibilities of liberty, care, and collective belonging. Through material inquiry and conceptual experimentation, the participating artists—each Texas-born—probe how life in Texas, and ultimately one’s identity, is shaped by infrastructure, migration, industry, and memory. The exhibition will run until 5 December, 2026. With thanks to @galleriesatut and @philntheblank Image: Jaylon Israel Hicks, Made in Texas, 2026, installation view.

𝙈𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙏𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙨 invites audiences to encounter the state as a complex cultural force whose political and social conditions quietly shape and sometimes limit the possibilities of liberty, care, and collective belonging. This multi-venue exhibition situates Texas within local and global conversations about regionalism, climate urgency, labor economies, and the politics of visibility. Artists such as Ja’Tovia Gary, Robert Hodge, Deborah Roberts, José Villalobos, and Charisse Pearlina Weston bring distinct practices that engage questions of representation, history, and place, expanding how Texas can be seen and understood through contemporary art.   Artwork: Oshay Green, Lacking Phases 38, 2024.

I’m beyond thrilled to celebrate the publication of Transcendence: A Century of Black Queer Ecstasy, 1924-20241 What began as a vision has become something so much greater—a vibrant testament to the beauty, brilliance, joy, creativity, resistance, and boundless imagination of Black queer life across generations. Seeing this book out in the world is both surreal and deeply affirming. This moment belongs to so many people. Endless thanks to every artist, writer, scholar, archivist, collaborator, editor, designer, supporter, and friend who poured their gifts, passion, trust, and care into making this publication possible. Your brilliance lives on every page, and I am profoundly grateful to have shared this journey with you. Here’s to honoring those who came before us, celebrating the magic of the present, and dreaming boldly toward the futures we continue to create together. I can’t wait for this book to find its way into your hands.

Bringing together 17 works by Texas-born artists, Made in Texas considers the state as a complex cultural force shaped by history, politics, migration, labor, industry, and memory. Rather than presenting Texas through a single narrative, the exhibition explores how identity, place, and belonging are continually formed and contested. José’s work will be presented alongside artists including Ja’Tovia Gary, Robert Hodge, Deborah Roberts, Robert Pruitt, Charisse Pearlina Weston, and more. Opening Reception Thursday, September 3, 2026 5:30–7:30 p.m. Christian-Green Gallery, Jester A232 Free and open to the public On view September 4 through December 5, 2026, across Christian-Green Gallery and Idea Lab.

The final element of the multi-part project 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦: 𝘈 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘤𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺, 1924–2024 is now available for pre-order! Join us in celebrating the release of the catalog with our own Phillip A. Townsend, the curator of 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 and the editor of this volume; the contributing artists and scholars; the AGBS staff; and the generous supporters who made it all possible.

ABOUT 𝘛𝘙𝘈𝘕𝘚𝘊𝘌𝘕𝘋𝘌𝘕𝘊𝘌 “More than an exhibition, 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 was a declaration—a celebration of the radical elation and complexity of Black queer life. It foregrounded ecstasy not as an aberration, nor as mere excess, but as a vital, life-affirming force founded in intimacy, creativity, and spirituality.” —Phillip A. Townsend Starting as an exhibition in January 2025, 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 widened its research impact with a symposium where artists, scholars, and curators convened at The University of Texas at Austin to explore the ideas presented in the exhibition and share insights from their respective scholarly and creative practices. After this in-person exchange and deeper research, the participants wrote catalog essays on the exhibition’s themes: Portraiture, Beyond Figuration, Dance and Movement, Spirituality, Sex and Sensuality, Black Queer Futures, and Altered States. 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is published by The University of Texas Press for AGBS, with contributions by: Nessette Falu Lola Flash Laura G. Gutierréz Texas Isaiah Omi Osun Joni L. Jones Amber Jamilla Musser Makeda C. Paul Phillip A. Townsend Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley Natalie Willis Whylly Hershini Young Cover: Bre’Ann White Lead support for 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 was provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Mellon Foundation Affirming Multivocal Humanities initiative, & AGBS. We also thank our donors, Marquand Books & UT partners: the Visual Arts Center, Humanities Institute, and academic departments supporting this work.
