Ebony G. Patterson: …for those who are denied…

The inaugural visual artist for the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s new residency program, Patterson addresses public, grassroots memorials for otherwise unacknowledged victims of violence, as well as the denial of innocence experienced by these victims, who are oftentimes persons of Color. Working with the museum’s horticulture team, Patterson explores ideas around visibility, dystopia, and notions of innocence.
