Connections

Jenkins Johnson Gallery

February 5 – March 28, 2009

521 W 26th Street | 5th floor | New York
464 Sutter Street | San Francisco

Featuring the work of contributor Emilio Bañuelos.

In collaboration, owner Karen Jenkins-Johnson and independent curator Lisa Henry examine artists who boldly speak on topics of race, ethnicity, identity and gender in America. At a time of a historic political change CONNECTIONS presents: iconic and legendary black artists of the Harlem Renaissance; established mid-career artists that continue to strengthen the African American presence in the art world; and the significant emerging artists that not only transcend aesthetic boundaries but have created a powerful discourse around social condition, personal identity, and cultural heritage in America.
