Exhibition Description
The show gathers diverse works — from early print series like Runaways (1993) and Narratives (1993), to later screenprints and text-based drawings — that explore themes of race, migration, identity, and memory. Ligon appropriates texts from writers such as James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Jean Genet, and others, stenciling them onto canvas or paper to highlight how language shapes perception and history. The exhibition invites viewers to confront how identity, visibility, and history are constructed and contested through words and images.
