Exhibition Opening of Life After a Hate Crime
Please join ART WORKS Projects for the opening of our fifth annual Emerging Lens exhibition Life After a Hate Crime by photographer Megan Farmer. We will be joined by Farmer who will give a short artist talk about her work.
Remarks to start at 6:30pm.
Refreshments will be served.
Free and open to the public.
Farmers project follows DaShawn Horne, his family, and his community as he fights to recover from a racially motivated attack that occurred in early 2018. Farmers relationship with Horne and his family is ongoing; this exhibition will include recent interviews with the family as Horne continues to rebuild his life.
The Horne family welcomed me into their upended lives after a brutal hate crime changed everything. DaShawn Horne, a young father, was beaten within an inch of his life. After suffering a traumatic brain injury, he had to relearn everything he once knew. He is still recovering today. Not only was DaShawns life forever changed, but the lives of his family members were too. My hope is to shed light onto the realities that hate crime survivors and their families are left with long after news headlines fade, says Farmer about Life After a Hate Crime.
