2026 marks the 85th anniversary of Emmit Till’s birth.  In this year of violence and erasure, Blanc Gallery’s programming reflects the words of Mamie Till-Mobley:

“The past shapes the way we are in the present and the way we will become what we are destined to become.”

We open our season with Jordan “Soup” Campbell’s exhibit, Loud and Clear.  Reflecting on art’s power to serve as therapy, testimony, and social critique, the exhibition responds to the cycles of harm and resilience within Black and Brown communities, using visual storytelling and immersive design.

Across a diverse range of media, Campbell’s conveys what has been loud and clear for generations:  the consistent introduction of new drugs to our communities, the persistence of systemic disparity, and the enduring creativity of our people to survive, critique, and dream.
