Queer Art Mentorship presents Seyi Adebanjo: Trans Lives Matter! at Leslie Lohman Museum’s Wooster St Window Gallery. For the exhibition, artist, activist and QAM 2013-14 fellow in film making, Seyi Adebanjo has produced eight large scale photos. Selected from Adebanjo’s series of photographic and video works that document Black trans community rallies, their empathic eye bears witness to people as they collectively grieve, give each other strength, and voice outrage at, "Cops, court, racism, jail, transphobia, prison, neighborhood violence, policing, classism and profiling. The level of criminalization and violence we deal with at the intersection of our black trans lives reveals the need for healing and justice in our communities." (Quote from Sasha Alexander, founder of Black Trans Media)
A powerful and intensely moving document of a community vigil for Islan Nettles a transgender Womyn of Color, concerning her spirit and life. Because the personal is political. Because healing and action tighten our fists and boom our voices. Trans Lives Matter! Justice for Islan Nettles. – work made possible by City Lore & Bronx Documentary Center (BDC)
Artist Statement Seyi Adebanjo I am a visual artist who raises awareness around social issues through multi-media photography, performance art and documentary video. My work is the intersection of art, media, imagination, ritual and politics. My work is lyrical, engaging people in trans-formative, political and spiritual dialogues.
The Museum will embark on a new collaboration with the Queer/Art/Mentorship program based here in New York City. Queer/Art/Mentorship was founded on the belief that the more vibrant and supported the queer artistic community is, the more porous its boundaries will become, thereby cultivating superior artistry and sustainable creative careers.
There will be exhibitions of work by Q/A/M participants in the Wooster St. Window Gallery running from late September 2014 until mid-February 2015, curated by 2014 Q/A/M fellow Rick Heron.
