CEPA Gallery’s Black Matters billboard exhibit highlights the realities of systemic and institutionalized racism, focusing the public’s attention not only on the present moment and the issue of police violence, but on the many challenges, contributions and assets of Black people in our communities. The text and image cohesion intends to speak directly to local governments and communities to create dialogue around the “isms” in our society with the hope of inspiring calls to action for lessening communal inequities.
The artwork from each of the twelve billboards are represented in an 11×14 print.
This photo was featured in Hope, Rebellion & Justice, the 2020 debut solo exhibit by artist Tito Ruiz, featuring striking portraits, emotional action shots, and powerful street photography celebrating the intersectional fight for justice in WNY.
