Rashawn-Related Art Exhibition: Open Call
The Rashawn Brazell Collective (RBCollcetive@yahoogroups.com) is organizing an innovative art exhibition (not yet titled) in New York that deals with the murder of Rashawn Brazell. The mission of the art exhibition is to create further awareness of the senseless and brutal murder of Rashawn Brazell (whose body parts are still missing), and to bring healing to the community. This is an Open Call to all artists that have created art around the murder of Rashawn Brazell. Art forms/mediums can include (but not limited to): Paintings, Drawings, Photography, Mixed-Media, Creative Writing (poetry, short story, journals), Digital Art, Spoken Word, Performance Art, and Video.
Initially, we were thinking of having the exhibition around Pride In the City in New York (Aug 5), but we will have to postpone to an appropriate date in the fall. This allows time to plan, receive inquiries and art, promote and find a suitable exhibition venue.
While the primary focus of the exhibition is Rashawn Brazell, we will be accepting art that also deals with other hate crimes in the Black LGBT community.
If you are interested in participating in the exhibition, please send your name, contact info, and discipline to spiritus1@aol.com. At the subject heading, please put RASHAWN ART EXHIBITION. Also, if you know anyone that might be interested in participating, please feel free to forward this and other related emails. Submission guidelines will be sent out to those interested artists, as well as the address in which to submit your work.
