The word constellation is defined as a “group or configuration of ideas, feelings, characteristics, objects, etc., that are related in some way.” A CONSTELLATION OF BLACKNESS: RENDERING INVISIBILITY, HYPERVISIBILITY, DEVALUATION, AND TRIUMPH is a multi-media exhibition of work by Veronica Jackson that addresses notions of invisibility, hypervisibility, devaluation, and triumph experienced by Black women in America. Jackson employs printmaking, typography, and historic photographs to create a series of striking installations of individual yet integrated works of art produced in various mediums, as exemplified by the featured body of work in this exhibition, the BLACKTIVISTS series.
