Colony Little, Culture Shock Art

Derrick Adams’ collage work reminds me of the elaborate mosaics of Romare Beardon. I get delightfully lost in them.

The artist currently has a show running at the Museum of Arts and Design called Sanctuary, that draws inspiration from the Jim Crow era Green Books, which were essential travel guides for African-Americans traveling cross country.

For more on the show and its ties to the Green Book, check out this NYT article.
