This weekend at Spill the Beans Cafe in Lititz, I'll have a piece of art on display for "The Black Show." All artwork in the show by local artists will be based on activist themes, so I chose my skateboard art piece called "Trying to Love What I Blame" for it's attention to the pornography business and how it negatively effects a woman and her God given purpose in this world. The show is being executed by an arts collective in Lititz called Zeu, dedicated to the ideal of art created within a community and for a community. They are a small, loose collection of artists who meet once a month to discuss art, culture, group projects, and their own work.
The idea for this show evolved from shared ideas regarding a sort of DIY, broadly defined, support of activism. The themes and nature of the work will span mediums, scope, and style. Zeu and The Black Show are not interested in the promotion of any specific agenda, whether it be political, religious, etc. The purpose of the exhibit is to foster communication, awareness, and discussion within the community.
The opening is this Friday, March 13th at Spill the Beans Cafe at 43 E. Main St. in Lititz, PA.
