Art opening featuring silkscreens by DIY Printing and images of the Black Lives Matter mural and the Cincinnati protests by Aaron Kent, Ben Wright, Shay Nartker, and Jens Rosenkrantz Jr. In a moment of civic urgency, these works register the pulse of the street—bodies, slogans, and color turning public space into a manifesto. The exhibition invites close looking at how printmaking and photography become tools of memory, solidarity, and community action, tracing a visual record that helps shape a shared conscience.

By Syreeta McFadden
Direct action is never the primary component of a movement’s longevity; it is only a piece that works in concert with a multitude of efforts. (Martin H. Simon / Redux)

To close it and return it to the shelf meant abandoning a world she already considered her own: one where good and evil were distinguished in every conceivable way. Beyond its beauty, that universe offered purpose, a sanctioned form of contemplation, and a steadfast commitment to the benevolence of the spirit.
