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.

Black Lives Matter Just Entered Its Next Phase
Months removed from the height of nationwide street protests, the movement has arrived at an important juncture, where its next steps will determine its success.
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)
