Lions Disguised as Lambs

Hebru Brantley

March 12 – April 7, 2010

The opening reception will be held 8pm – 11pm on Friday, March 12, with a special celebrity guest DJ to be announced soon.

This will be the first showing of Lions Disguised as Lambs, a series that features pieces of images from 1940-50s Coon Toons, animated cartoons depicting that era’s stereotypical images of African-Americans. Inscriptions of contemporary language surround the images, allowing viewers to bridge the turbulent past with the current state in cultural relations. The exhibit will be on display until Friday April 9 at pun(c)tuation, open 2 – 9pm Monday through Friday.
