Gallery Talk | P.S. 610: With Highest Honors

This group exhibition features four artists who work in a variety of mediums. The featured artists are JUS1O Ellis, Joanna Henry, Toye Durrah, and Zaire McPhearson. Their work explores the theme of transformation and the removal of facades seen within the African American community.
P.S. 610 With Highest Honors is designed to serve as a confessional for what black artists envision their lives to be. It compels them to take a critical look at themselves as individuals within a community that has faced numerous challenges and maintained various facades just to get through the day. How different could life be? How much happier might it be if they were allowed to be themselves without the burden of pretense or consequence? Through this group of artists, the intention is to symbolically demonstrate what it would look like to shed the façade and transform into their true selves.
