I Pledge A Knee (2017) by April Banks
2017, 21.5” x 35.5”
Encaustic wax, hand-cut paper, graphite, on wood panels. The work is part of the Harold Jones collection. I spoke to Harold Jones about the ordered removal of this image from public view by this administration, and with his permission I’m sharing what he wrote: “It is so profoundly ironic that the current administration seeks to suppress one of the most recognized visual records of American slavery: that of the Civil War era photograph of the enslaved “Gordon” whose back is literally etched deeply with scars from repeated lashings. Black American artist April Banks reimagined this image by transposing it with an image of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, forced out of play for his kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice. Their nearly identical kneeling postures, separated by more than a century of history, are folded by the artist into a single image that links slavery’s brutality with the silencing of protest. This work is only one out of Banks’s series entitled “Redacted”; the work also layers in graphically the censored and forgotten stanza of the “Star-Spangled Banner” that cries out slavery’s terror and gloom, exposing the truths America has long chosen to erase. Removing this work denies the truth of our “shared” history and dishonors those who endured its horrors.“ -Harold Jones I remember driving this piece from Los Angeles to Oakland, straight to Harold. I didn’t know then that the imagery used would be erased less than 10 years later. Today I’m grateful for artists, and for those that support us. We are the most consistent, and truthful, repositories.

The Compton Arts Project is sooo excited to welcome Maikel Deekman to Compton! Maikel is a multi-media artist who was born in Suriname, who lives and works in Amsterdam. His work combines the culture of his ancestors with Dutch Modernism. Join us as Maikel shares his research tracing textile patterns that traveled with enslaved peoples to “The New World”- in this case Suriname, South Carolina and The Caribbean.

This event is an extension of Compton Cipher: Amsterdam, a project of The Compton Arts Project powered by Sēpia Collective, facilitating artistic exchange across borders. Hosted generously by our partners at Color Compton, 306 W. Compton Blvd, a beautiful place for history, art and community. Presentation begins at 2:00 pm on Monday December 2, 2024. Refreshments will be served. We will see you there! .audio
