"I started to keep my spray cans because I didn't like throwing them away when they were empty... I started to paint on cans intentionally thinking about how they’re meant to be discarded, but yet they’re given the opportunity to have a new life." - Brandan BMike Odums
The exhibitions at @NewcombMuseum, which close on Dec. 14, both raise awareness of environmental issues facing marginalized communities across the country and close to home through photographs, video, audio, and mixed media.
