And You Are Afraid of Me?
An open edition giclee depicting an African American man with his hands up.
On his right arm you find the year 1619 and on his left arm is the word present. The “1619” signifies the year that the first enslaved Africans reached the United States of America in Jamestown, Virignia.
The word “present” alludes to the oppression, racism, police brutality and other forms of social injustice that those of African descent are still dealing with.
At the bottom of the art print are images of tragic events (lynchings, police brutality, etc.) that the young man’s forefathers have had to endure.Â
This work of art is available in a size of 11×17 inches on paper or 24×36 inches on canvas.Â
