Opening July 10, 2020, 6-9pm, 5 Points Art Gallery & Studios second annual, critically acclaimed, This Is America group visual art exhibition.

This Is America is a consciously curated group exhibition meant to, both, corroborate and challenge the notion of Americanism, citizenship and belonging, racial representation, historical and cultural influence, religious freedom, national and global amnesty, and pride and prejudice in iconography associated with the red, white and blue, stars and stripes by artists with traditionally overlooked vantages. With a breadth of work reflecting upon current and historical concepts and lived experiences, viewers are posed to find commonality or grapple with divergent perspectives tied to their nationalistic, political, and racial identities.

Exhibiting Artists: Adjua Nsoroma, Akira Mabon, Ammar Nsoroma, Allison Westbrook IV , Bennie C. Higgins, Chrystal Gillion-Mabry, Darrel M. Payne, Dave McClinton, Della Wells, Erik Salgado, Evelyn Patricia-Terry, Fatima Laster, Gannon Crutcher, Kiki Jia Qi Zhen, Komikka Patton, Ladetria Warren/Twisted Rose Metal, Liliet Rosa Reyes, Manny Vibes, Maria Alfaro, Martina Patterson , Marvin Tate, Muneer Bahauddeen, Nicole Brown/Ruth Nathan’s, Nirmal Raja, Ronda Gatlin-Hayes, Rosemary Ollison, Sharon Kerry-Harlan, Sheila Miller, Sonji Hunt, and William Darnell Rogers.

This poignantly relevant exhibition is on display from until August 30, 2020. Artist talk will occur at 7 p.m. (CST) opening night in person and via zoom link to be provided later.

PLEASE NOTE: Attendees must wear masks or a cloth covering over ones noses and mouths while inside of the building. There will be a limited supply of extra masks should a visitor come without such protection. #5pointsartgalleryandstudios #art #gallery #new #exhibition #black #poc #artist #representation #thisisamerica #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram

🖤Through his work, Dave “[wants] to illustrate the life-cycle of the inner life of a black person. From innocent to informed. From recklessly defiant to determined. How the weight of American history can either crush you or harden you. And, how either result often has to be hidden from view just to get through the day. The anger of the African-American community is often portrayed as a threat. The anger of ‘traditional’ communities is depicted as righteous. This paradigm feeds stress and despair back into black lives and thus stokes the fires we try to simultaneously hide and harness.” #juneteenth #freedomday #supportblackartists

Juneteenth is the oldest celebration of the end of slavery in the U.S. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved people in Texas were finally told they were free—a full two and half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. For more than 150 years, Black Americans have honored this "Freedom Day" or "Jubilee Day" with public celebrations. "Our survival and liberation depend upon our recognition of the truth when it is spoken and lived by the people," writes theologian James Cone in his book "God of the Oppressed." "If we cannot recognize the truth, then it cannot liberate us from untruth. To know the truth is to appropriate it, for it is not mainly reflection and theory. Truth is divine action entering our lives and creating the human action of liberation." Illustration by Dave McClinton (@mcclinton) for the July issue of Sojourners. #juneteenth #faith #justice

Juneteenth has been celebrated for generations by Black communities who understood the significance of celebrating achieved and hoped-for liberation. And this year, in this time, I am captivated by the thought that remembrances and markers such as this hold great value and instruction for all followers of Jesus, and should be considered in the grand arc of redemptive history. If we call on a Savior who came to set captives free in a grand, eternal sense, and who achieved that through clothing His own holiness in our human flesh, should we not be ever-engaged in the pursuit of ensuring that ALL people made in His image live into the fullness of true freedom? Should we not be seeking to embody His Kingdom “on earth as it is in Heaven”?
