“Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will scar me for life,” reads a framed art installation, the white cursive letters bleached onto a black background with a skull and cross bones underneath. Just below is a larger framed piece, all chalkboard black except for the whites of one eye that looks at you as you read, “Forget who your parents taught you to hate forget forget.”
This piece by Christopher Craig is one of the many works created for Gallery Onetwentyeight’s exhibit, “Raciality” (race + reality), which opens tonight with a panel discussion and reception.
