Caught the last day of this exquisite exhibition - "Christopher Myers: The Hands Of Strange Children" at

@jamescohangallery - Bravo @kalyban!

"For The Hands of Strange Children, Myers has created a series of narrative tapestries and a suite of stained-glass paintings that excavate the lives and legacies of six revolutionary prophets: #Wovoka, #Nongqawuse, #NatTurner, #HongXiuquan, #TeUaHaumene, and #AliceLawkena.

Spanning a wide geography of times and places, Myers sees these figures as representatives of a grand tradition of colonized peoples. Each took what was not theirs and made it their own, using the very tools of subjugation to build emancipatory philosophies and movements. Myers examines the beautiful failures of these prophets, filtering them through the 'transformative materiality of narrative' to create portraits of icons of resistance that speak powerfully to the present...

For Myers, there is a connection between the material form of the works and the histories they explore:

'Just as quilts are made from scraps of fabric, the mythologies of these movements are made from a mixture of religious stories from all around the world.' - Christopher Myers"

#TrayvonMartin should be celebrating his birthday today. So I’m resharing #ChristopherMyer’s thoughtful @HornBook article “Young dreamers.” Particularly timely after Liam Neeson’s comments. #kidlit https://t.co/Zd2lJ1ygEr
