Artist Talk: November 3rd

Homecoming is an exhibition created by artists, Ronise Doss andWilliam Baker alongside the help of their loved ones who have
experienced incarceration. Homecoming transforms the typical American family home setting and ideals into a space that activates healing, understanding, hope, and community. This
transformation is created with a collection of artworks
documenting Black people’s experiences navigating the justice system disguised as home decor. Homecoming calls upon pop art and prison culture for an artistic engagement with
architecture that encourages the viewer to challenge the
security they know and wake up to the truth.
