I had the pleasure of immersing myself in Clifford Ward’s “I’ll Make Me a World Prologue” at Artworks in Trenton curated by Addison Vincent. It’s a prologue for Ward’s upcoming show at Grounds for Sculpture curated by Noah Smalls and opening May 18. A journey towards afrofuturism filled with pride.

Here we go again! I remember when these solidarity signs popped up in 2017 after the first Trump administration. Now I’m seeing them again. (I saw this one yesterday in Hopewell, NJ.) Don’t stop! We should always be in community with each other, not just during challenging times.
