Black Mourning - Women's T-shirt
The Summer after the murder of George Floyd by police office Derek Chauvin in May 2020, there was a rise in deaths of Black people at the hands of the police.
20 in 20 is an art installation project curated by Doc. The initial 20 in 20 project was commissioned by the Academic Senate for Community Colleges in California.
The ASCCC was intrigued by images from Doc’s larger exhibit, Homage, which chronicled Black deaths by police from 2014 – 2019. After reading about the installation, the organization reached out with a request to use photo documentation from the exhibit.
Inspired by the moment, Doc created 20 in 20 and specifically highlighted 20 individuals who were killed in 2020. Photo documentation of this installation was featured during the ASCCC Fall Plenary as a form of digital advocacy supporting conversations rooted in antiracism, allyship, equity, and inclusion among California Community College Faculty.
Black Mourning
20 in 20 in Mourning continues this conversation. Using photo editing techniques, Doc applies a digital collage approach to honoring these Black lives. The black and white paper máche headstones are a reminder of being caught in a seemingly black and white world. Meanwhile, the infusion of red and blue represent the ever-present police lights at the scene of these deaths.
