September & October: Black Lives Matter: A Child’s Vision

An exhibit created to archive the Orland Park Black Lives Matter: 8 Can’t Wait protest that occurred on June 12, 2020. Inspired by then 9-year-old Nathan Epperson, after witnessing nationwide civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. The exhibit is a mix of photography, portraits, art and digital narratives documenting the experiences of local residents and protestors participating in the Black Lives Matter movement.

Photography by Naomi Hill. Portrait photography by Peter Bosy. Paintings by Ariane Radcliff.
