"Justice and Inalienable Rights" features artwork from emerging and established artists of color whose artworks explore the concepts of justice and human rights within marginalized communities.

 

The exhibition centers around a rare book, "Scottsboro Limited, "written by Langston Hughes and illustrated by Prentiss Taylor, which is part of the Tyler Art Gallery collection. It features four poems and a play depicting the story of the Scottsboro Boys, nine black teenagers who were wrongfully accused of rape in Alabama in 1931. From there, artworks were selected from the Armand-Paul Family Collection, established by brothers Newton and Marcus Paul, and includes paintings, videos, prints, photography and sculpture from the Latin and African diasporas. While the exhibition explores difficult topics such as police brutality and colonialism, it also features artworks that celebrate culture and utilizes our right to self-expression as a political act.

 

Featured artists: Mequitta Ahuja, Esai Alfredo, Patrick Alston, Alvin Armstrong, Sanford Biggers, Terry Boddie, Kevin Claiborne, Ryan Cosbert, Jamal Cyrus, John Edmonds, Teresita Fernandez, Sam Gilliam, Ronald Jackson, Parris Jaru, Ashante Kindle, Simone Leigh, Natia Lemay, Glenn Ligon, Corey Lovett, Eric N.
