Our Votes, Our Stories. reflects on historical barriers and voter suppression. The exhibition is the result of collaboration and partnership between Golden Artist Colors and the Cooperstown Graduate Program of SUNY Oneonta.
The selection of artists’ works was curated by Jimmy Nunn Jr., a graduate of the program. He shared, “Exhibitions like this and the conversations that they bring about are needed now more than ever. I am grateful for all the people in our country, specifically the incredible artists in this show, who continue to speak up and fight for justice. I truly believe that our voices, united with the echoes of those who have come before us, are powerful enough to bring about positive systematic change.” Nunn is currently Project Coordinator at DVDL, a cultural strategy agency that helps guide the work of cultural institutions, cities and organizations towards people, and the issues that they hold dear.
The eight artists whose artwork is featured in the exhibition are Harper Bella, Greta Chapin-McGill, Sandra Charles, Brianna Harlan, Carla Rae Johnson, Lorie Novak, Taylor Sanders, and Vitus Shell.
