DISPLACED: CAIRO, AN AMERICAN CITY

John W. Carlson, Ruddy Roye, Clarence Wilkins, and Shari Wilkins

January 30 - March 28

Curated by Cleveland Print Room’s Strategic Director Shari Wilkins, “Displaced: Cairo, An American City” investigates and responds to the racial inequities and misguided political/economic policies and their long-term impact on Cairo, Illinois, a microcosm of an American city. This project invites viewers to witness the city's slow decline through the consequences of racism and capitalism. Photographs of Cairo are core to this exhibition, along with paintings, mixed media, and a documentary featuring residents of Cairo.
