Block Party II

Jenkins Johnson New York presents Block Party II, a group exhibition featuring works by Quinci Baker, Adrian Burrell, Mustafa Ali Clayton, Laurena Finéus, Quil Lemons, Collins Obijiaku, Gregory Rick, Andre Wagner, and Demetrius Wilson. As a continuation of Block Party (2018), Block Party II draws inspiration from the vibrant history of block parties that have enlivened the streets of Brooklyn. These gatherings, are more than just social events, but rather an investment in futurity serving as crucial forums for discussing larger community issues. Rooted in the artists’ practice and upbringing within communities marked by mutual care and creativity, Block Party II is a vision of communal liberation.
