GO ‘HEAD, FIX YOU A PLATE brings together new work by Jazzmen Lee-Johnson inspired by questions of memory, history, grief, and family. In this exhibition, Lee-Johnson invites Becci Davis, Jordan Seaberry, and Dominique Sindayiganza to join her in exploring the universal need for spaces of self expression, cultural tradition, pleasure, rest, and dreaming, while reckoning with the complexity of how to be at home in the United States amidst inherited and lived experiences of racism, violence, oppression, and incarceration. Together their work transforms AS220’s Aborn Gallery into a domestic space of rest, reckoning, and resistance.
