Disrupting and recontextualizing racial stereotypes in traditional comic art, John Jennings celebrates the importance of black images in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror and how the presence of those images radicalizes the notion of the black subject.

Featuring collaborative work with artist-illustrator Stacey Robinson, whose subject matter examines the African-American experience, more specifically the future, the exhibition presents an Afrofuturist critique of the depictions of black people and their history in comics and popular culture through a Hip Hop futurist lens.  Laced with humor and satire, these are rich expressions of women, gays and others who may have felt themselves invisible in the larger society, but who nonetheless create powerful images of dissent, or moving depictions of their diverse experiences in America.
