Jenkins Johnson features works reflecting international political and social issues of 2020 through the work of five African Diaspora artists: Rashaad Newsome, Lisa Corinne Davis, Blessing Ngobeni, Amani Lewis, and Raelis Vasquez. In line with the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “When you see something that is not right, you must stand up, speak up and speak out.”‘

Debuting at OVR:2020 is Rashaad Newsome’s neo-cubist collages, which are components of his new multi-disciplinary “Assembly” series. He draws on advertisements, the Internet, and black and queer culture to produce complex narratives on intersectionality and social practice. He has upcoming projects at Stanford University and Oakland Museum. He has exhibited in the Whitney Biennial. He is in collections, including the Whitney Museum, LACMA, SFMoMA, and Brooklyn Museum.’
