Opening Reception for THE WEIGHT WE CARRY

Description

For their second solo exhibition of the year, Jackson Junge Gallery is excited to announce THE WAIT WE CARRY, a solo exhibition featuring the work of in-house artist, Clifton Henri. THE WAIT WE CARRY is a collection of photo-based images inspired by the layered and complicated experience of ‘Being Black in America’. Throughout the years, Black people have frequently been told to WAIT, but the “WAITING” has tremendous “WEIGHT” and that WEIGHT is HEAVY. It’s a weight and heaviness that we’ve been carrying for 100’s of years and continue to pass on to the next generation. This collection is a recognition of thoughts, mantras, realities and conflicts that exist in our hearts and minds regularly. 

Join us for an Opening Reception Friday, April 25th, 2025 from 6pm-9pm. The event is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view April 7th - May 11th, 2025.
