Ken Gonzales-Day, Democracies can fall...
Photographed by Clifford Pickett and Alyssa Meadows, Nashville, 2018
Ken Gonzales-Day is a Los Angeles-based artist whose interdisciplinary practice considers the historical construction of race and the limits of representational systems, which range from lynching photographs to museum displays. This exhibition, curated by SCU Senior Lecturer Renee Billingslea, draws from his widely-acclaimed series (2006). This series, and his book, (2006), has slowly transformed our understanding of racialized violence in the United States and raised awareness of the history of lynching in California.
