Shawn Theodore 's (b. 1970) artistic practice merges real and hypothesized mythological black experiences set within contemporary, yet fading, black environments. While the intent of his work is to shift stereotypical frameworks and false representations of African Americans and African Diasporan individuals, his overarching goal is to center black individuals and their communities as trans-historical, transnational, and metaphysical entities mobilizing against erasure in all forms. 7 x 8.5" softcover 48 pages, 26 plates First Edition, limited edition to 250 copies Free Shipping
