This exhibition reflects Yrneh Gabon Brown’s personal journey and awakening while researching and documenting the devastating effects of prejudice, ignorance and/or violence inflicted upon people affected with albinism in Tanzania, Jamaica and, to a lesser degree, the United States of America. Through videos recorded in these locations and artwork created in various media (photography, collage, assemblage, sheet metal, cast bronze and ceramic sculpture), the artist shares the inspiration from his trips and the heartfelt devotion he has developed towards children and adults living with the condition of albinism. In his first solo exhibition in a major Los Angeles museum, Jamaican born artist, Yrneh Gabon Brown, has produced powerful work intended to effectuate change through artistic exploration, social engagement and public discourse. CAAM exhibitions and events are free and open to the public. CAAM is located at 600 State Drive, Exposition Park, Los Angeles, 90017. For more information visit www.caamuseum.com
