Krista Franklin, Axis Bold As Love

What is a line? A method of connecting, a path for inquiry, a trajectory, a border or boundary, a limit, a way? Drawing the Future gathers the work of artists of color who are troubling the line. Together, the works in the exhibition move beyond the linear and, as a result, suggest what a future, intersectional world might look like. Instead of including only 'drawings' in the typical sense, Drawing the Future posits that drawing happens across media––in painting, sculpture, performance, etc.––and that drawing is a referential practice. Drawing, as future-building, is a collective action that throws multiple voices, paths, and lines into collision.
