\u201cMy work has a lot of circles, representing infinity. They just keep going and going and going. And that\u2019s what we do, my people do.

\u201cResearch has shown that Black, Brown and minority communities hold the highest cancer burden of all racial\/ethnic groups in the U.S.,\u201d according to the organizers. The exhibition features \u201cartworks that speak to the current state of cancer inequities and starts the conversation around the need for communities to feel empowered to actively shape their health outcomes, particularly in the realm of cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Franklin, exhibiting artists include Ryan Horton, Nygel Jones, Stanley Rameau and Bianca Rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
