You can read the article by @mrjordanhirsch now on slate.com Side note… I realize My work will be shared on these platforms regardless of My stance on AI and Art theft. With Adobe, Microsoft and Meta all stealing and data scraping People’s work, all I can ask is if You like and respect Me and My work, don’t use it for prompts and cheap imitations. If You are, pay and credit the Artist You are biting. My CashApp is $ChrisVisions and Venmo is @ChrisVisions Happy Juneteenth & Asé to the Ancestors 🤍

Salon De Résistance | Art Against Power Join us for Salon de Résistance on April 30 at Black Iris for an unfiltered conversation about the role of art and culture during times of political upheaval with three of Richmond’s leading artists. This is a free event open to the public. ——————— Art has never been neutral. Across generations, artists have either created in defiance of authority or been coopted by power to legitimize it. Today, that tension is tightening as American democracy backslides, redefining how we create, consume, and reflect art back into the world. Yet not long ago, art didn’t hesitate, standing at the vanguard of social resistance and cultural change. That wasn’t accidental. There were incentives to challenge power. But in the past 18 months those incentives have changed. Political pressure shapes what gets funded. Controversy is avoided. Technology is changing how we create. And financial opportunities are contingent on dissent being avoided, power going unchallenged, and the status-quo maintained. But what happens to art when nothing is at risk? Can culture survive when there’s no reflection to show us who we are or where we’re going? These questions feel especially urgent in Virginia, where our proximity to power shapes global conversations that bleed out into the entire world. Narrow that aperture even further, and Richmond is where that struggle takes creative form as the epicenter of cultural life in the Commonwealth. In this salon, we’ll move beyond abstraction to examine how art challenges power in 2026, and how that dynamic shapes what gets made in the studio, painted on walls, displayed in galleries, written on the page, and confronted by artists in their own work.

May 2026 Criterion Channel’s Lineup includes Med Hondo’s WEST INDIES: The Fugitive Slaves of Freedom, which is being inducted into the @criterioncollection ✨ 🎨 by Me

“John & Maggie’s Records and Tapes” [May 29 - August 29] is an art exhibit that mimics a nostalgic record store, arrayed with a group of mixed media works featuring renditions of album covers, posters, and merch created by *YOU*, the artists of Richmond VA. The exhibit, an homage to Jackson Ward luminaries John Mitchell Jr and Maggie L Walker in its title, is designed to explore the musical history & cultural significance of Richmond, and Virginia as a whole, and will host a variety of music-centered programs, including film screenings and listening sessions for a pantheon of milestone album anniversaries. Opening May 29th during Charged Up Fest 2026 @chargedupfest , rolling straight into June’s Black Music Month, the exhibit will act as a bridge between the visual art and music communities of the city, creating a beautiful opportunity for building stronger networks and avenues for creative collaboration, a space for communal experience, and hopefully, inspire this generation and the next to be more active in the participation and archiving of our culture & stories. Interested in participating? You can pick up a maximum of 2 sleeves at HI•RES or at @vinylconflict during open business hours. Submission deadline is May 27.
